Just because someone prefers an OVF, doesn't mean that they're 'afraid' of an EVF. Why are you AFRAID of Sony coming out with another OVF camera? If Sony were to come out with an OVF DSLR, it doesn't mean that they're abandoning the EVF. Sony should want to draw as many people to the A-mount camera, as long as it doesn't mean that they're going to spend huge amount of money to do so.
Point went over your head(s). I just basically reverse the assumption that was thrown at me regarding, "afraid" from that particular poster. I'm not afraid of anything. My cameras that I use in my example shows that. Like I'd already stated, I use more than one format. Some of those formats is large format film cameras. My sole point to him is that Sony's not going to do it because I don't see the masses for it that would economically benefit them. It's like the Big 3 having all of these additional car companies that weren't making them any money, that they got rid of.
The poster used the Nikon f6 to try make his point. Film is still big, but it's big among the hobbyist and fine arts photographers. Sony will stay consistent with the direction that they're going in. And that's the bottom line.
And, the point that I made went over your head. Sony is a big enough company that they can have both an EVF and OVF option.
No your point didn't go over my head. Hence the point of the detailed replies from me. If anything, there's denial. Sony's a big company that can do a lot of things. But like a small business, big businesses too will look at the bigger picture. You're not the only one that's part of that big picture. The big picture consist of, competition, consumers, future, constant change and much, much. much more. When you add all of those elements to the mix, you have to be a step ahead of the competition. Example, someone pointed out the A900 and A850 weren't making good sales in the ovf department. The person that replied to that stated that they didn't add other accessories to it. That's true. BUT, remember Sony stated, "When we do add video etc. we want to do it right." If Sony decided to go the ovf route with video, it probably would be just another ovf camera. Like Apple, Sony had to think outside the box and do something different in order to compete vs just being another dslr camera with video.
