I whish camera makers would take in-camera composition more seriously.
Obviously Mirrorless is very price aware and I think is worried about breaking into higher priced dslr territory.
I'd love to see a professional mirrorless camera, that stopped worrying about addning another $700 to $1000 on the retail price.
Take the em1. It's a great camera, maybe overall the best camera I've used, (for stills). The menu is complicated because it doesn't return back to where you finished (which makes no sense) but overall the camera is jewel like and offers a lot of quality in image and shooting.
Olympus makes a vf-4 add on viewfinder. for the em-1 it moves your nose off the rear screen, it adds waist level functionality, but it takes up the hot shoe slot, with no thought about adding another flash or something like a pocket wizard. At least they put an old fashion pc plug in it (which they didn't do on the em-5) but you have to find a place to mount a flash or a slave and it is just a base oversight that they didn't embed a hotshoe on the vf-4.
Same with tethering. Sony kind of does it, olympus, fuji, panasonic and olympus just don't, and honestly what does that take, a firmware update?
I think it's just an oversight that they think that only an advanced amateur will work with their cameras and all professionals use 10 year old designed dslrs and only medium format.
I guess I could understand it if the camera companies were selling everything they made and their sales were going up, but the reverse is happening and they are
It's funny, after using the m43 cameras which gives you wysiwyg, I just bought a Leica S2 (the first version) and the first thing I noticed looking through an ovf for the first time in 3 months, was when I moved the knobs nothing happened in the viewfinder. At first I thought, wow something is wrong.
Crazy, because 6 months ago I felt the opposite and evf.
Mirrorless has the ability to really change how we all work, but we really, really need a professional version of one of these cameras, without any missed functions, especially easy ones like tethering.
IMO
