I do think that mirrorless cameras is where photography is heading, and it's 
good to see a manufacturer maintaining compatibility with current and legacy 
lenses. But this camera has neither optical nor electronic viewfinder, not even 
as an option, so I hope it's not where bird photography is heading.

I think an electronic viewfinder is potentially better than an optical one if 
the resolution is good enough, but it's disappointing that there are so many 
photographers who don't need one at all that manufacturers can simply leave it 
out.

I suspect that some time in the future the viewfinder/no viewfinder divide may 
be bigger than the mirror/no mirror one.
