![]() I also personally find it easier to compose images through an optical finder. If forced to pick one, I’d choose OVF because I find shooting through an optical finder offers a more pleasant and rewarding experience than using an EVF. Dan Bracagliaĭepending on the situation, I could go either way on the OVF versus EVF question. It’s impossible to separate the viewfinder type from the style of camera it allows and, with the quality of the latest EVFs, the style of camera I like most usually means it comes with an EVF. So, if an EVF means I can have a smaller camera with a larger viewfinder, the ability to preview the effect of my settings and the ability to shoot video, then that makes up for many of the shortcomings. APS-C sensors tend to mean small, pokey little viewfinders and most focus screens for modern cameras aren’t very good for manual focus. ![]() However, on most cameras you don’t get a good optical viewfinder. A good optical viewfinder can also be excellent when shooting in very low light: its responsiveness and resolution don’t suddenly drop, for instance. A good optical viewfinder can be a lovely thing: giving you a sense of being ‘in the scene’ that even the best EVF can’t match. (Or is there?) Richard Butlerįor me, I’m less concerned about the technology behind a viewfinder than the quality of it. Optical or electronic? There's no wrong answer. That takes us to the task at hand: all the great recent electronic viewfinders (Leica SL, Panasonic GH5, Fujifilm GFX 50S.well, some of us think that one's just okay) got us on the topic of which type of viewfinder we prefer. So at any given time, each of us thinks the rest of us are wrong about something subjective that you can't really be wrong about (we're all human). Is it the best of both worlds, or would you just rather have one over the other?īelieve it or not, as a team, we don't all agree on everything. Fujifilm's X100 series, together with its X-Pro series, are the only models on the market to offer both an electronic and optical hybrid viewfinder.
