OK, You’ve convinced me. I need to get myself a couple of new MILFs. The current ones have been a very worthwhile investment for the last twenty years or so. 😈

I think you are the only one who noticed that I used a different acronym.

1. Agreed
2. Retina display is distance+pixel density. At the moment the pixel density is limited and when viewed as EVF it is magnified hence negative distance so it will still not provide all the details an OVF can give.
I wish i could fully agree with WYSIWYG regarding EVF since it is showing a movie on a monitor output and we have to take that with a grain of salt. Such display also eats a lot of energy and can drastically shorten the amount of images one can get per battery charge. You are correct it may show flaws before the image is taken but beyond a persons skill, the same can be said with live view or afterwards by chimping.
3. As i've said before, live view is just an option whereas the EVF-its contemporary is already the main tool. There are time it fits the job better and hence it will be used on those moments. This provide flexibility that MILC does not have.
4. Agreed
5. I still believe its subjective. Celphones attract attention, it is just usually ignored with a hint of annoyance. On the other hand, a long lens allows a person to take pictures without disturbing the subject. Hence my comment of "it is usually on the user" how he acts with his equipment that he gets positive or negative attention. Besides, the MILC with equivalent lens will not be much smaller compared to a D3300 or even to a D750 D-SLR.

Then I assume you drive a car with a Wankle rotary engine, not one of those old-fashioned

The history of photography (or anything else, for that matter) is no one of continuous improvement with
everythinga always getting better. As in biological evolution, there are many "dead ends" and many
different niches. Butterflies and sharks have not evolved the same anatomical structures.
There is no question that digital is more convenient than film. But is convenience all that matters?
Would you pay more for a digital print than for a silver print?
Most important of all: professional photographer and fine art photographers play a tiny role in today's market.
More than 99% of the cameras sold by Sony, Canon, Nikon, etc. are sold to CONSUMERS.
Are you saying Joe Consumer is a infallible judge of camera gear, or of what's good for photography?
Are his needs the same as a fine art photographer's?
But I hear your message: the public is never wrong, the status quo is always right.

Why do you put words in other people’s mouths? Anotherview clearly didn’t say anything like that. Do you really not know the advantages of digital besides convenience? And btw,,why do you use a digital camera, a computer,,telephone etc......?
Why not stick to your 8x10, write letters, use a horn?? Stop being a hypocrite.
Rigid thinking is a waste of time. Evidently not in your reality, but there is a a huge gray area between black and white.
Last time I looked, 99% of the products sold today are consumer driven. Welcome to reality.
AND WHERE ARE YOUR PHOTOGRAPHS?
Are you a troll/trouble maker or a photographer?
Which one are you?

Please stop the name calling, tdekany. It's not helping.
Your quote proves that I didn't put words in anyone's mouth.
I merely said digital photography is more convenient than film.
Do you disagree with that?
You are mistaken that 99% of all products being for the consumer.
If you had worked in industry, you would realize that there are
millions of industrial products that the consumer never sees.
You may not build roads, bridges, dams, tunnels, or skyscrapers--
but somebody does. You may not maintain heavy equipment,
power stations, aircraft, ships, submarines -- but somebody does.
How many parts and supplies go into building a digital camera?
How much specialized tools and machinery are used? Some builds
and sells every single one of those products.
Conumer demand is a large part of total demand, so it is very important
from a macroeconomic standpoint. But it by no means is the lion's
share of products and product categories. For example, Any large
electronics supplier has an enormous catalog of parts.
THe number of prescription drugs and medical devices is truly enormous,
not to mention all the supplies and equipment used by doctors,
dentists and in hospitals. All of it is made and sold by someone.
Limited experience is the root of much misunderstanding.
