EVF provides the same TTL advantage as the optical viewfinders in SLRs except electronically. I am fully aware that the current EVF is like a toy, mostly because of low resolution and slow refresh rate, making it suitable for cheaper digicam only (for now). I used to own I know a lot of SLR enthusiasts have a knee jerk reactions just by hearing EVF. But there are many industry people who now predict that EVF will gain momentum in the near future. That's why I was curious about the reaction of PDMLers here. Forget about the current generation of EVFs which are nowhere near the replacement of the optical viewfinder. Quite sometime ago, I used to own one of the Nikon Coolpix 8000 series camera (don't remember the exact model) which had an EVF but the resolution was so low and immediately switched to Canon G3, which was an excellent camera but the lens interfered with the viewfinder. Then, I peeped thru one of the K/M models with EVF and was surprised to see the resolution (I think it was near 1mp) and throught EVF should not be written off, not as yet. But again, I was just curious and have had no intention to "disturb" people and cause "allergic" reaction :-).
