Ladies and gents,
As the topic implies; curious from those who have used or use both, which they prefer, why, etc.
I've used both myself, and granted I have a EVF-DC1 on it's way, but, that doesn't mean I can't change my mind.
My hunch says that EVF-DC1 will pair better with the 15-45 when slung.
I really found the EVF-DC2 to be very crisp and contrasty, and glasses friendly.
Also, my time with the EVF-DC1 was all when using older Canon's, the G1X Mark II and EOS M3. I wonder is it more useful on a faster Canon?
Thoughts?
Apparently the EVF-DC1 provides a larger coverage than the EVF-DC2. It's LCD vs LED I might add. The former will be more power hungry. The latter, less, and more contrast presumably. I don't like how the EVF-DC2 "digs" into my back when slung with lighter lenses. The 22 pancake and 15-45 come to mind, some of my favorites I might add.
I do recall the eye-detection of the EVF-DC1 was somewhat problematic and my eye-cup came off one of em, which isn't replaceable I might add. Canon doesn't make that part separately as I learned when that happened.
l carried my 100L all day long with m6II and EVF-DC2 slung on my shoulder with a flexible bungy type op tech strap and didn't even notice I was carrying this setup while I used my RP + RF 24-105 L on my black rapid shoulder strap
1) suggest evaluating when to use evf and when not - I know the long tele's are better with one - but a 22, why use evf
2) suggest evaluating your sling against something else like a jacket pocket or belt bag with a wrist strap on the camera
I never resort to a neck strap
