A tiny and personal test of some EVF

Thanks for your replies: conclusions
5

So, after this tests and the replies, this is my conclusions

  • Modern OVF rocks. It just works. No need for tedious comparisons and strange settings and using the best lens etc. What there is you see in full real time!
  • It is not easy to compare different EVF. If they work well or not is very elusive. Some are obviously worse. But, among the top tier, it is annoyingly difficult to understand which one is the best.
  • One exception: Panasonic. I found no problems, except maybe the strange halo for bright lights. It was actually very nice.
  • Nikon Z7 II was nearly as good as Panasonic. But, of course not, as good as an OVF. Had some problems with the Z6 II, which has exactly the same EVF. But, it had a slower and longer lens.
  • Canon was a mixed bag. R6 kind of good and R5 kind of bad.
  • Sony and OM, no, not really something I did fancy.
