Discussion: OVF vs EVF

[PatrickH]

At present I'm really happy with the combination of a DSLR and an M. The M is supremely portable and discreet. Your can disappear as a tourist, or carry it on a backpacking trip without trouble. I did a challenging trek a few years ago with a load of heavy DSLR gear. That was my never again moment I still prefer my DSLR when portability and discretion aren't factors.

The benefit of the EFV that I enjoy most is the ease of focusing on still subjects, primarily for landscapes or portraits. Just touching/selecting the spot on the EFV that I want to focus on is really intuitive. Phase/contrast/dual pixel combinations have brought these systems pretty close together, but overall I do prefer the focusing function of an EVF/mirrorless setup.
