Perhaps one could use an old small 25A red filter and wear it like a monacle and turn the EVF down to it's lowest brightness to test it out. Maybe for a lark I'll try this myself. Not that I have any real reason to...

No, it does not. Mark Thanks, Mark. I suppose with an effective focal length of 45mm it's not that high a priority and the reviews have been good and the price is certainly attractive. I finally have the NEX-7 in hand and so far only have the 18-55 so I am looking around at possibilities for for fu...

Is the Sigma 30mm equipped with anti-shake?

One example is this quote: "We've enjoyed using the SLT cameras we've used so far. Concerns about light-loss, electronic viewfinders and ghosting may have made DSLR purists nervous, but most people who tried using the cameras couldn't help but be impressed. Having light constantly directed to ...

Interesting reading: http://visualsciencelab.blogspot.co.nz/2012/03/sony-a77-first-report-no-technical.html He says exactly what I've been saying - "Once I started using the EVF on the Sony I found it hard to go back to a regular OVF on the Canon 1D series or the 5d2. The reason is that the 2....

It would be easy you just avoid making any statements or opinions either way. We know DPR are deeply in love with SLT technology and EVF's, but they could use more appropriate wording at times to at least portray some kind of objectivity. You can read the first 3 paragraphs for yourself but it's a ...

Easy for you! Seems maybe objectivity is being confused with condemning a product. They're not based on the same thing. Real objectivity is not so easy.

I strongly encourage OVF fan's to abandon A Mount for your own sanity. What really taxes sanity is coming in here for the last year and a half and still reading the same thing over and over. OVF and flipping mirrors were necessary in the film days but film for all practical purposes is GONE. There ...

Ah, thank you, Greg. It's all coming back to me. There were apparently a lot of "apparently's" in that compilation which leads me to think this list is not generated as one who has shot with an EVF for a year and a half and is instead compiled from perpetuated snarkings in forums around th...

If you dig around on DPR there is a thread right now about "do you want an EVF" I see some well known former Sony users who are now Nikon customers because of this. I, in no way, ever confuse a few grumpy people on a forum as representative of the majority of users and anyone who does is ...

I wanted Sony to carry on some kind of "Minolta vibe" I expected some changes of course, but after handling an A77 and A65 I can say in confidence that these cameras have very little in common with Minolta philosophy some welcome that. Personally I think Sony have tried to hard to kill of...

My personal situation is crystal clear now. I will purchase the NEX-7 when prices drop a bit and focus on E-mount W/A and standard zooms when products appear that can outperform my 16mm pancake, W/A adapter and 18-55mm zoom. The decision to go with NEX-7 (as a final camera purchase) has been furthe...

You can carry one less piece of equipment by letting the camera double as a spotting scope, since your going to use it afterwards to take shots of your trophy! Dusty OK then, lets carry this to the next logical step. Couldn't you leave the long zoom at home, replace it with binoculars and use a sho...

Take your A77 and set up in a tree stand at twilight with a long zoom. Look for your quarry and track it to within range and and a good open spot to shoot. Put your rifle scope up to your eye and take the shot. What's that? EVF caused night blindness and that 16 point buck got away? Now you see my ...

Dusty and Barry, why don't you try for a bit of time the EVF. I am sure all camera manufacturers sooner or later will go EVF. Then what? you will regret you sold some really good lenses. I can say I got used to the EVF. I had the A55, now the A65. After using the EVF for over a year and finding it ...
