I have tried so many mirrorless cameras I think I have had one at some point from every manufacture. I currently have a Leica which I love and a Canon RP. I started out with Pentax (MX) and am thinking of coming back with a K1 because I prefer SLR to Rangefinder but love the Leica so much. I have been trying to work out why and I think it is all down to loving an OVF even though I love small full frame cameras (and the K1 isn’t small compared to mirrorless offerings). Something I have not seen mentioned yet and that puts me off the RP has nothing to do with lag or resolution but the focussing points. I don’t know if it is only me but I find multiple focus boxes darting round the screen and changing size etc really distracting and take me away from the composition and what is actually going on in front of the camera. I can pick a single centre point but the focus box is then huge compared to a DSLR centre point focus. Anyway that is a big reason I think I may have never found a mirrorless that I like and thinking of coming back home to the DSLR.

Interesting feedback, just curious, isn't there some option to deactivate subject detection, or use a grid as with DSLRs, out of centered box ? (can you move it by the way ?).

I thought there would be all options from DSLRs, and subject detection/boxes added on top of it but it seems not ?
