Cold, hard reality sets in...

Here is where it would be nice to know what lag there is between the actual scene and what you see in the EVF viewfinder. Assuming you have a situation where you can pre-focus does the EVF add a tenth of a second or so to the shutter lag? I don't know how you measure this (one eye on the viewfinder and the other looking at the scene?).

I believe, someone from Japan reported that when he pre-focused on a TV he could not get what he saw when he pressed the shutter and thought it was because of the EVF. Not exactly scientific, but there my be an additional lag in trying to get the "decisive moment" due to the EVF.

There's only one thing wrong with "bracketing" of any kind and that
is the point in time that you wish for the exposure to be taken
will result in one exposure, the others will occur after that point
in time. For a lot of the subjects that I photograph that's not
important. But try to bracket a child's smile, or look of surprise,
or a bird sihouetted by the sun. We're back to the "Decisive
Moment" again - and there's really only one.

As Phil's crane animation shows, beware automation.

The burst stuff, I guess, is like bracketing exposures. I think
something interesting is happening so fire off a burst. Then find
that one moment when the tip of Jordan's tongue is just touching
his cheek. Of course, as an arteest, I sneer at such automation.
Why someday we'll have super fast 1000 shots/s burst mode and
neural nets which will instantly select the publishable photos.
Hey, I'm not kidding. My master's project was an automated vision
processing system for quality control. So I know.

P.S. The thesis part is true.
