Originally posted by normhead OK, I give up... how is a mirroless camera better than a camera with a mirror?
Why does one have to be better than the other? Can't it just be a personal preference? I find it really amusing that the concept of subjetivity rarely enters into these forum discussions. Reading this stuff is a little like watching a bunch of HS boys standing at the urinals glancing over at the person next to them.
Here's a good question who is a better photographer Robert Frank or Richard Avedon? Who is a better painter Breughel or Van Gogh? Who is a better composer Bach or Beethoven or Schubert? Who is a better trumpet player Miles Davis or Dizzy Gillespie?
Same difference. Some people like Lomo cameras. Good for them if it suits their muse.
If you are asking me personally, I have come around to EVF's. My K5 sits idle while the EP2, G3, and X100 are used daily. And yes, I've pre-ordered a NEX 7. But do I think EVF's are better than OVF's? To be honest that question has never crossed my mind. I just use what I like with the complete understanding that other people may prefer something else.
