I am just very surprise with the EVF on A7 as many have said EVF is useless, I am sure another generation the EVF will be great. Fuji X-T1 EVF received praises from many. It is the EVF that make me think A7/R is usable for DSLR shooter.
Lenses is definitely an issue with the SONY system... I certainly like Fujifilm offering in this area, they have fast, and reasonably priced primes, and I think, they are taking away what used to be Pentax's strength.
too bad they are APSC, and I rather stay with PENTAX in the APSC format.
Another thing I don't like SONY is that.... they basically likes to screw their user... how committed they are to the mirrorless FF?
EVF have come a long way.
Before end of 2012-2013, they were laggy between what was shown on evf and the actual scene (taking moving stuff was such a pain then), lacked resolution to do MF w/o magnification.
The good EVF's coming out since 2013 are all pretty good for most things.
Yeah, Sony's has showed that its strength is not in lenses.
I do have a disdain for all these 'electronic' lenses though (most from MILC makers).
They run on electronics and software fixes.
So one fine day, say 10yrs down the road, if Sony or Fuji decides to move on to the next better mount or exits making cameras, it will be harder to get these lenses to work.
Not that the Fuji ones are no good.
I agree with the unpredictability of Sony's commitment.
They have moved from DSLRs to SLTs, then NEX, now As, trying to find whatever makes the money.
We know that the DSLRs are gone; SLT's are a dead end and dropped in favor of MILC.
We have A mount and E mounts.
Something will go, and it seems for Sony, going is the natural procession of things.
