I love optical viewfinder. You have direct, unfiltered connection with the scene. However optical viewfinder cameras are:
- big, heavy
- noisier
- more expensive to make
I intensely disliked EVFs when they first came out, but with the improvement in later generations, I can see optical viewfinders obsolete in 5-10 years.
Pondering about the future of high end professional cameras (I'm taking about integrated system cameras, not studio view cameras), while I think large MF sensors will still have a space, mechanical components like mirror box or focal plane shutters won't. Just like the end of manual focus lenses at the advent of autofocus.
Your thoughts?
