Only few people prefer EVF over OVF for what you see in the finder, maybe in dark situations there is an advantage. What makes MILC superior over DSLR's is the absence of the mirror and use the sensor itself for AF and exposure. The break through of MILC came when EVF became acceptable, not because it would be superior. Spin offs of removing the mirror are smaller cameras and less complicated optical formulas in the (super) wide angle lenses. So, for those who prefer a bright OVF over a second best AF / exposure and a compact system a DSLR is the way to go. Even a rangefinder camera might be an option. The mainstream will choose MILC, for sure those who step new in serious photography.

I doubt the strategy Pentax choose last year was a wise one. It was more a defensive one to get the best of their R&D capacity but on the long term you can not survive in an evaporating market is my opinion...
