Don't know what you are talking about. The OLED rear display on my E-M5 works perfectly well. Haven't heard about any issues with the OLED EVFs on NEX cameras either.

I think you missed the point. ;-)

Sales numbers? The CIPA data shows shipment numbers and the figures for the first four months of 2013 compared to the first four months of 2012 are as follows: Mirrorless: 85.2 % DSLR: 82.1 % So...

According to the same (faulty) logic: Yes, CDAF requires basic skills in focusing. If you have problems with a lot of wrongly focused shots on moving targets, a DSLR with PDAF is for you. ;-)

My guess is that it takes a little while from the time a product has been developed until it is actually produced in quantity and incorporated in a camera. When a new camera is designed, the...

It isn't. And it will be even better in the future, which is what we are discussing here.

That's merely an illustration of differences in contrast and has nothing to do with the DR of which the EVF is capable. The jpeg format doesn't limit the DR of the EVF, nor are camera manufacturers...

The advantage of the EVF is that it requires no mirror flap which significantly reduces the shutter lag. Shutter lag is not a different topic since the choice between EVF and OVF has implications...

I realize that's the narrow view you adopted. So I widened the perspective in order to make an observation of greater relevance. Many sensors today have a DR of about 14 at 8 MP and future sensors...

Hard to say. Whether you find the claims exaggerated or not are likely to depend on what images you'd like to be able to capture, how you expect to process them, and what your quality standards...

In order for rhetorical questions to be efficient, they need to be cleverly designed. To show why yours fail in that regard, let me respond by asking: Do your windows perhaps serve exactly the same...

Does this look crappy? http://www.imaging-resource.com/news/2012/01/27/new-evf-makes-it-clear-the-optical-viewfinders-days-are-numbered Are Nikon, Sony, Olympus, Panasonic, Samsung, Fuji, and Leica...

When this happens, the total lag time of mirrorless (EVF lag + shutter lag) will already be significantly ahead of DSLRs. At present, they are about evenly matched at 50 ms. The EVF lag is...

What? You mean this is not your preferred, light, hammock reading? ;-) Thanks for doing some further digging. In an effort to reciprocate, this old but possibly interesting stuff (I only took a...

You mean grandpa-style like Robert Capa or W. Eugene Smith when they chose Leica M over larger formats? ;-)

See my reply micksh6 here: http://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/51588946

I largely agree with this although I'd like to add a few things. First, while we do look around in order to take in a scene and our pupils adapt as we do so, the DR our eyes can perceive exceeds...

Yes I realize that. Compression is a problem yes. A matter of "tonal constipation" as Charles Kramer puts...

In what sense higher quality? Based on what evidence? Are you implying that the 20/1.7 doesn't? If so, based on what evidence? Yes it does, as expected since it's an f/1.7 rather than an f/2.8...

Thanks for that link. Seems to be a very good introduction to the region, wine-wise. Bookmarked!   I'll sure do. Would be nice to meet for a chat and a drink if we both have the time and...
