Look at the difference between Sony A7 (the first model) and Sony A7R IV in terms of EVF.
It's a 6 years difference between the 2 and the quality between them is night and day... EVFs improved a lot and became very good.

Again, I'm not trying to convert anyone. I'm just trying to say that people used cameras with not so great EVFs and in their mind all EVFs are bad.
Originally posted by biz-engineer Mirrorless lens lineups are not complete, mirrorless cameras reuse the core of previous DSLR cameras (e.g EOS R is a 5DIV without the mirrorbox).
That was the choice of Nikon and Canon, for the transition. It was a "safe" move to see the interest in mirrorless without investing too much. Given that EOS R5 will be completely new in terms of sensor, processor, etc., I think that both Canon and Nikon will push the pedal even more. The clear indication is also the number of lenses released and soon to be release.
Originally posted by biz-engineer In addition, given current economic situations and camera market still shrinking, it's not sure what brand of mirrorless cameras will prevail in the future. Maybe Nikon will die, could be Sony, and how about the long term future of Panasonic? I'd wait a couple of years to see more clearly what's the right choice. Of course, it's possible to buy mirrorless lenses now and wait for new bodies to come later, but that's risky.
The current situation will have an impact on lots of businesses. I've put on hold pretty much any kind of gear acquisition until my business will get back to normal.
