That's the problem, Alex. EVFs are an imperfect technology that will get marginally better with each generation of cameras. You'll want the next one, then the next one... It's planned obsolescence, and most makers are counting on this upgrade path to preserve their sales. Meanwhile, the OVFs in my my K- and K-3.3 are about as good as they can get. It's a mature product.

Wasn't the upgrade on the K3 III OVF one thing that Ricoh promote for users upgrading to it? And they may do the same thing for K1 III?

So is there all that much difference between OVF and EVF?

I'm still quite happy with the EVF in my old Sony A7.
