There are some real implementation issues with the viewfinder and rear LCD panel, though:
- A fast refresh mode (I presume 60 fps) is offered on the LCD, but not the viewfinder. It consumes more battery, but gives a smoother view. I think this would be more useful on the viewfinder than on the rear LCD; when you're trying to track something, it's a lot easier through the viewfinder, and fast refresh would really help.
Check out the Display Mode in the menu.
- When you put your eye (or your hand, or just about anything else) near the viewfinder, the LCD shuts off. Which is OK, but the touch screen doesn't, which is not such a good thing. It's just as sensitive to noses or cheeks as it is to fingers. But if you're looking through the viewfinder and deliberately touch the screen, you don't really know just where you've touched, right?
The touchscreen can be disabled in this case. Check out the Touch and Drag AF settings in the menu.
- Auto-review applies to both the LCD and the viewfinder. I'd like to have review on the LCD, but not the viewfinder. The problem is that the shot stays visible in the viewfinder for however many seconds you set, so you can't see what's going on without pressing the shutter button again, which introduces delay. I realize that's a matter of taste, but I would have liked Canon to offer separate options for viewfinder and display.
Yeah, it would be nice to have an option for this. I just set image review to off and hit the play button if I want to review.

Fujifilm's X-H2 is a high-resolution stills and video camera, that sits alongside the high-speed X-H2S at the pinnacle of the company's range of X-mount APS-C mirrorless cameras. We dug into what it does and what it means.
Holy Stone produces dozens of low-cost drone models aimed at consumers. We look at the HS710 and HS175D to see if they stack up to other sub-250g offerings. Are these secretly great or more like toys?
