From the June/July of Outdoor Photography, and from an article titled "The Mirrorless Future Is Now", all sounding so promising. But here is a direct quite which I will type here.
"Though the potential of mirrorless camera systems was intriguing, the nascent technology also posed limitations that would take years to resolve. Early mirrorless cameras relied on sensor-based contrast-detection autofocus, which lacked the responsive accuracy of the phase-detection autofocus offered by DSLRs, and their electronic viewfinders were relatively sluggish, dim (especially in low-light scenes) and low-resolution, providing suboptimial experience compared to the optical view-finders in DSLRs."
Quoted straight from the June/July issue of Outdoor Photography.
Thoughts?

I much prefer an optical view finder. Early in the game when using an EVF I found that in a picture of a flower, a reed very close to the camera and out of focus across the frame. I did not see it in the EVF. Of course if you looked very, very closely you could see it in the EVF. But it was not obvious as it would have been in an optical finder.
