Electronic Viewfinder Not For Everybody

by Patrick on November 18, 2008

For the most part, the Pansonic G1 has gotten excellent reviews and there hasn’t been a whole lot of hatin’ on the EVF, a crucial design feature on this and all future micro four thirds cameras. Of course there’s always a contrarian out there:

But I find EVFs incredibly distracting when I’m shooting. For one thing, they never simply fix exposure; when you focus and recompose, or if the light simply changes, it has to gain up or down to compensate so that you can still view the scene. Even if you mentally adjust for that and know that what you see in the viewfinder doesn’t reflect the real exposure, the constant change is incredibly annoying.

I can see how that would be a problem…
