It’s my choice to prefer not looking through an electronic view finder. Delays or not. Id check the English of dat sentence. It’s still my opinion and desire. It ain’t gonna change so pretty much enjoy it yourself. Maybe I’m used to SLR, TLR and DSLR providing the real scene. MF camera’s are so nice to use even over 35mm. Again, my opinion. Not yours. I can see someone blink at the moment the shutter goes off with some gear. So my experience differs than others.

Again, Low light performance of the viewfinder, focus in low light, focus on faster moving subject in Low light. Focus in general. I’ll stop there.

All my opinion. I speak For myself.

We are all entitled to that. Live view does work. Just confirmed it.. but I don’t use that very much at all.

So, some people didn't like the transition. Google has tons of these and I think any side of the discussion can find support out there for themselves.

Still, I have to admit, the info in this thread - particularly from Gwilliams6, has really made me look at mirrorless in a more serious light. Although I have no intention of switching to Sony at the moment, I am much more interested than I was just a week ago in seeing what the Nikon mirrorless brings to the table. And, more importantly, how it works with their existing glass.

Yes there are some who aren't comfortable with mirrorless and long for their ole comfort zone with DSLR. There are many more that chose to stick with mirrorless after switching. The numbers of the increasing mirrorless sales coupled with the declining DSLR sales support this. Overall if you include all levels of DSLRs ,there are more total DSLR sales presently, but mirrorless is making gains in market share, especially among pros (who are making money from their photography and can afford to switch), and first time buyers (whom are less invested in any particular camera and lens system). Mirrorless isn't for everyone and that is ok. But for an increasing group, mirrorless is very attractive. Your choice is YOUR choice.

If Nikon and Canon can bring truly competitive full-frame mirrorless systems to market that can match Sony's best, Feature for EVERY feature, and still keep them working with their present lenses (that would require them to keep their wider DSLR body's lens flange to sensor distance in their mirrorless bodies), then Nikon and Canon could keep some more of their flock from switching. But if Nikon and Canon stumble out-of-the-gate with their first full-frame mirrorless systems, Sony and others will continue to erode their customer base and eat their lunch IMO. Cheers

Profit and technology will totally drive the future of cameras. What's great now in DSLR's will still do the same great job in the future but still there's always going to be a better mouse trap built, especially when it comes to proft and sustainability. Technology never stands still and if the Big Two, Canon/Nikon, develop a highend ML, that's their future.

Meaning you are never taking the DSLR again or you did not like the 4/3 cameras?
