You're the one with the delicate features. A normal man can't handle a NEX because of the midget sized controls. I couldn't.
Originally posted by Emacs This is the technical progress. It's not as fast as it should be, but it's a great thing anyway. In 5 years you won't find any kind of SLR in common shop, only in specialized ones.
Like I said before. People are assuming DSLR technology will not improve. DSLR have a big headstart, and in five years time, they will improve too. If the EVF have to catch up on OVF then they not only have to solve all the problems, they'll also need to get better then OVF's. So we're not talking about 5 years, more like 15 to 20.

That will be true, even if mirrorless disappears today. Camera's improve, no matter what the type is.

That's what they told us about the electronics in cars too. But the ONLY thing that regularly breaks, needs updates, resetting, re-adjusting, needs repairs are the car's electronics. I've got a two year old Audi A4, and the electronics needs servicing more then the tires. While my 1984 Audi never needs any servicing. And yes, the latter gets driven a lot by my wife.
You'll understand this one: When the US and Russia were in the space-race, the US government invested 16 million dollars in a ballpoint-pen that would write in zero gravity. They did it! They developed a pen that could write upside down. The Russian just used pencils. That's how I see the EVF. It's the 16 million dollar NASA pallpoint pen. It's ludicrously overcomplicated.
