Avoiding EVF frame blackout

Me personally, I hate cropping - I consider it a personal failure if I need to crop in post. That's just a personal standard I set for myself, and it does mean that I burn through images trying to get optimal framing.

I get that, but I almost never miss a moment with the 60MP and RAW and the focus of Sony I will get something that's recoverable and meaningful. Also, I have found I can change the emotion of a shot after the fact. So many aspects of my f8 sports shots are garbage until I crop them, and then I get wows from the families.

That kind of attitude walked me down the road to stacked sensors, where I could finally concentrate fully on framing rather than get distracted momentarily.

I am used to getting the composition right in camera, but I also like experimenting to get the shots. I just did a post on jpegs so my thought process is get it right in camera. I am playing with the 12MP ZV-E1 and proper composition is important as there is little room to crop. I just need to adjust my mindset before going out to shoot.

As far as stacked sensors and global shutters, I think I am good until they make a 40MP global shutter that can shoot 8k video. I really like my A7CR as it does everything I want accept 8k.

It's not so much about missing the moment, it's more about misframing the moment. Again if you're happy to crop aggressively in post that's entirely your prerogative, and as long as the end-user is satisfied with the result then that's all that needs to be said.

My equipment isn't good enough to get perfect framing for a lot of action shots, so I have to work my limitations. 20fps and no blackout will give you 12 more opportunities to get the perfect framing per second than I get.

Then the subsequent question is - why do I need the full resolution? It's less to do with the full 24/33/50/61MP and more to do with the background separation I get. And again, it's personal satisfaction.

I am not arguing and I enjoy the discussion. My other need is to go from across the field to scanning down the bench, with one camera so I need slow 10x zooms. Ideally I would have two cameras with f2.8 zooms or fast primes. That said my next glass will be a 135gm and hopefully the 300GM.... Will be interesting to see how that works with an A7CR.

Good discussion I understand why the no blackout EVF is so desirable now.
