It's a bit late for this, but I'll add my 2 cents...

Speaking as a long-time DSLR holdout, who loves the experience of taking pictures and being in the moment, not just the end result...the OVF (essentially HDR) simulation feature is brilliant.

I don't need exposure simulation, but I do want to see the scene I'm shooting as naturally as possible. Previously that meant using a mirror. But having used an R3 for a brief time, I would say that the viewfinder experience is better than using my 5D4. I'm gutted the new R6 has the same lower res EVF as its predecessor, as with the OVF simulation, 5.76m dots EVF is a good experience.

I shoot raw and am quite happy adjusting for exposure rather than potentially over-exposing in camera and losing highlights etc. Even in snow I will only mildly adjust exp. by say, +1, and am happy with what I get once its processed. Metering is amazing these days, unless you shoot jpeg, turn on the OVF simulation.
