Default One more nail in the optical viewfinder coffin

Yep, hence the suggestion to improve DSLRs with an EVF switch. The
advantages of EVF don't require high res if you can flip freely between
optical and digital. In some ways the digital preview is more useful at
very low resolutions, like for example light meters, and more
specifically the idea of getting a realistic squint reality check on
your composition and exposure. It probably doesn't take many pixels to
build a reliable live histogram. That's what you want in the viewfinder
when twisting the aperture ring, or maybe DOF preview, depending on the
situation.


With many DSLRs now having Live View you almost have that.

Cheers,
David
