Ever heard of word business. It does not run by democracy. And it certainly not run to please one person. (in this case you).

1. Noone has to prove to you that anything is better than other.

Few are asking for EVF's bar some die hard fans note a new Canon 600d they'll sell a lot of them too.
Sony are not a company that gives choices that's why they have a history or proprietary lock in's with past electronic experiments.
And you conclude this because DSLRs with OVFs outsell EVIL-cams with EVFs 10-1?
At the moments you can buy Sony FF OVF cameras, APS OVF cameras, APS EVF cameras, APS mirrorless cameras.
The world wasn't calling for digital cameras or cars or aeroplanes or the internet, so your point is?
--Well, where do we get most of the oil that is simply burned?. Batteries can be made from many sources other than lithium. If any real effort is made a totally new energy source might save us all from self destruction. It wont happen overnight but there is some promising developments.
All (and I mean ALL) of those who prefer an OVF are the miserable Luddites posting on this thread. So what if you can't take fast moving action pictures of sports and wildlife? Big %&%@* deal!
Advances in battery technology is doubling every 18 months. No need to think that it wont become less polluting in the future. Humanity simply has to make decisions based on harm and benefits, and then implement them.
So technology has not advanced at all?
--Come on Dave you know that OVFs are superior. They just won't be for long. Tech advances are in electronics, not mechanics. The EVF will equal or better the OVF in 2 years.All (and I mean ALL) of those who prefer an OVF are the miserable Luddites posting on this thread. So what if you can't take fast moving action pictures of sports and wildlife? Big %&%@* deal!
Why can't you Luddites (well, me too) be satisfied with other aspects of photography?
Sheesh, you guys are sloooooow...
Dave
Meaningful statistics, not random numbers. Here's some numbers along your lines. The Olympus forums has long been one of the most active ones around here, in terms of posted messages. Does that mean their cameras are among the most polular too?
Playing the ad hominem card is a sign that arguments fail.
In theory true, but this ignored the fact that the most important part in that dicussion, the batteries can (and actually are being, as the ingredients are expensive enough to make that profitable) be recycled.
I was talking worse case scenario, coal fired stations. And here, all scenarios are being told when promoting.
Yeah, that has influence on how much you can see, the amount of noise and often (in the Sony case atleast) the refresh rate too. We're talking about atleast 2 stops (assuming the Nikon opens up to about F2.8 when framing).
I can still shoot it handheld with the extreme conditions I described. Stabilization helping ofcourse. But it doesn't have to be that extreme to show the advantage.
I have a Canon 5D (mkI) at my disposal too (work), so the OVF on my Sony isn't my only reference. The real reference IMO is still the naked eye.
If your eyes and brains can instantly adapt to darkness, you must have bionic powers.
This is about framing and anything beats darkness. Besides that, I gave in extreme example. In a dim room with a fast lens, there shouldn't be grain worth mentioning and even the refresh is still fine.
