and a few others (well older models within the M43 line of cameras), adding the optional EVF's can be a huge plus for a number of reasons. So I'll use them when weather conditions are overly bright - thus making some LCD's unusable. But even with the EVF attached (in this case the M6), I really find myself using the LCD screen 75% or more of the time, so it's interesting really.

Now this new (pending - will be announced within the next several days), Fuji X-A7 will sport an LCD that has 2.76 million dots and is 3.5" in size with a vari-angle LCD screen. Lots of folks are looking forward to this one. In addition, a higher visibility is achieved with the LCD having a maximum brightness of 1000 candela (or did they mean candles). As you may or may not know, the X-A line features a bayer sensor (not an X-Trans sensor). I personally have enjoyed shooting with the X-A line.

I know this is the EOS M forum, but just for sh_t's and giggles (knowing that lots of folks here also use Fujifilm cameras), here's the new X-A7 specs:

Here's different colored variants of the X-A7 that will be sold...

Brown and silver version (one of my favorites).

D-pad is gone, but they've added the joystick. And the LCD is now 3.5"

Regular black and silver version. Finally, Fuji does the vari-angle LCD.

Dark silver version of the X-A7.

Lime Green? Oh well, I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Looks like a Leica Q minus the viewfinder.

I had the external viewfinder as it came with my M3. I was very excited to get it because at the time I hated shooting off the screen. After a handful of uses I decided I didnt like it. The view was ok but I always felt it was clumsy sticking way up there.
