EVF versus OVF: The reality
On Mar 19, 2017, Rich A wrote
(in ): What's best? This is what I've seen. Daylight static shots: OVF still looks best. Even over Leica's new EVF. Moderate light static shots and indoors: EVF's. They look better. Low light, night shots: EVF's. At some point, OVF's show nothing or next to nothing. EVF's will show a grainy but discernible image. Enough to compose and the sensitivity of new cameras is so low, they can focus in almost no light. Couple that with low-light ISO and being able to compose matters. Sports: OVF. No "single frame only" on high-FPS shooting. Critical manual focus: EVF, magnification can't be beat. What is best when it comes OVF or EVF depends on several factors starting with how well each are executed by the manufacturer. For now one can just look to the X-Pro1, X-Pro2, or X-100(x) for a range finder type camera with a great OVF which has the option of using the very good Fujifilm Hybrid EVF. When it comes to EVF’s Fujifilm gives us what could be one of the very best in the X-T2. It has to be seen in action to be truly appreciated. With the X-T2, even shooting at high frame rates, the blackout found in older EVF’s is imperceptible. The undeniable drawback for an EVF is battery usage, and even that is being addressed. -- Regards, Savageduck |

With the EVF's I've used so far, you see the first frame, but nothing beyond that. I supposed with some kind of fast laod/refresh y ou could see an EVF act like an OVF. That is exactly the point of why the X-T2 EVF is so appealing with a refresh rates of 60 fps and 100 fps in boost mode, the blackout is reduced significantly. "Continuous shooting performance has also been improved, enabling up to 11fps when using the mechanical shutter* and 5fps in the Live View mode. The viewfinder blackout time is now less than half that of the previous model. This means that you can track a fast-moving subject more easily for an extended period of time during continuous shooting. The combination of advanced continuous shooting options and EVF performance deliver continuous AF-C shooting never previously thought possible with mirrorless cameras." http://www.fujifilm.com/products/digital_cameras/x/fujifilm_x_t2/features/page_03.html ....and this reviewer notes the following: "The X-T2’s 2.36-million-dot high-resolution organic EL electronic viewfinder has the magnification ratio of 0.77x and maintains the display time lag of just 0.005 seconds. With the maximum brightness doubled from X-T1, the viewfinder features the Automatic Brightness Adjustment function so that it is easy to see even in intense backlighting. The EVF refreshes at a rate of 60fps, or as high as 100fps in the Boost mode to deliver smooth display of movements. It can continue displaying a moving subject without interruption. The fast rate of refresh is maintained even in low light for easy framing during night shooting. The X-T2’s blackout time is less than half of that of the X-T1 due to the parallel processing of Live View display and fast shutter charging. This has enabled continuous shooting of 5fps in Live View, giving users the ability to easily continue tracking a moving subject." https://ivanjoshualoh.com/2016/07/07/x-t2-the-great-x-pectation/ -- Regards, Savageduck |
