There's no mistaking that it's an EVF ... you're looking at a video
image rather than an optical image ... but it's very bright and
easy to see, the resolution is 1.4Mpixel and the refresh is 60hz so
it appears nearly as sharp as a good computer monitor. I find it
very easy to focus with, manually, particularly with the MF Assist
magnification function. It does not have that crisp feel of a 'live
optical view', however. In very low light, it gets noisy and lag
develops, due to the refresh, where with the optical viewfinder
things just get too dark to see.
I was curious how the EVF performs in low light. The reviews I've
read have mentioned the lag, but skirt around the useability. Does
the MF assist work ok in low light too?
I find it very usable, and in many situations much moreso than optical
viewfinders ... either SLR or RF. The way the viewfinder amps up in
low light allows me to see the subject and focus point better than
either of the optical viewfinder types despite the noise and lag. The
MF Assist works well, even in low light.
There comes a point where there's not enough light to form an image,
but the light levels then are so low you can't see with an optical
viewfinder either in most cases.
