Then there's the question of what exactly do you want to see through the viewfinder. Compare Hollywoodian film cameras with TV cameras. These are the ancestors. TV cameras were EV since day 1, as the operator wants an accurate preview of what Joe Sixpack will see on his TV set instead of merely looking at the world through a peephole.

Good choice, but there's the bean counters. When a working EV becomes much less expensive to manufacture and assemble than a mirror/pentaprism assembly, guess what happens.

BTW, how many videocams have optical viewfinders these days ?


How many need one?  What's the resolution of a video sensor?
Can you get a electronic viewfinder with that resolution?
