A tiny and personal test of some EVF

Re: My experience FWIW ...

I had the Panasonic S1R for a month.  Sent it back. Two yeas later, tried the A7R4 for a month.  It also went back.  Both cameras are very nice, with different problems (like all cameras).  Would consider an S1R Mark 2.

My first camera was Sony Rx10 with EVF.  of course it was all I knew, so it seems great.  However, I've yet to use an EVF that did not slow down markedly when darkness arrives.  That makes for a shaky and disconnected viewfinder experience.  In daylight, it is not the same as OVF, but they work well enough now.

I understand that the Z9 uses a clever trick to make the view more natural.  Resolution isn't everything - although it does seem to me that the conversation is different at 9.44 million pixels than 3.7m.

I have not used view cameras, but I understand they put our puny OVF to shame!
