Re: Went to get a G80 and ended up with an A7..tips from M4/3 and FF users?

Are you sure that the A7 is the right camera when you are complaining about the evf in a M43 camera?!

I"m splitting between M43 and FF (A7ii) and the mentioned differences and pros/cons in regard to image quality are what I also see. The better low light/higher ISO quality of the A7 is worth the try and you can pull much more out of the shadows than with M43 RAWs.

I'm using mine also mostly for the wide angle application via adapted lenses but the evf is far behind what Olympus was doing with the VF-2 and the evf in the EM10ii. It's much darker than the ones I mention here so i had to get a larger eye cup which shades the eye better against light from the side. Also the distortion in the diopter glass at neutral requires getting used to. Something that I don't have with any of the Oly cams.

Also the sensor cleaning/dust on sensor will be a pain since you are used to what Panasonic is doing. Oly and Pana are so much better in keeping dust off the sensor than what Sony is doing.

let us know how it's going for you.
