SLR without the mirror

[Carl Clifford <>]

Peter,

I think it may be some time before electronic viewfinders will out-do  
a good split-screen optical viewfinder.
Cheers,

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.
