I find the mirrorless allows me to produce my previsualised image more easily that a DSLR that doesnt have the EVF. Since I moved to mirrorless I probably take 1/2 to 2/3 less images than I did with my D3.

What I yearn for from a camera is what I had with the Bronica S2a, a ground glass screen which I could fine focus with a loupe and compose a picture (albeit inverse) usually on a tripod, in a leisurely fashion. This is quite different from action photography, which frequently requires multiple rapid exposures with very quick response.

My main objection to EVFs, based on an Olympus OM-D EM 5, is that I couldn't see whether the image was in focus through the finder. With an SLR I always assess focus on the focusing screen before pressing the shutter. With the EM 5 it was very much a case of trusting the AF to have got it right. Unless the much improved EVF of the Z series has resolved this issue I don't see the advantage of going mirrorless. It simply doesn't do what I need.

Geoff that is either a function of you using the wrong glasses prescription or not adjusting the dioptre on the camera viewfinder correctly. The EVF renders and image equally well as a optical system. What does differ between the two is the refresh rate. Under poor light conditions and where there is fast movement depending on the EVF refresh rate the rendering can be extremely poor. At >4MP EVF become common and with fast refresh rates the difference between OVF and EVF become an item of preference rather than functional difference.

If it were my prescription I would have the same problem with an SLR.

Is the OM only 1.6MP in EVF? Eeeek. Very grainy!

I think 4/3 is a nice format but too small for critical work especially if you want to crop and make enlargements.
