I've been looking at getting a smaller mirrorless camera for holidays and travel.
I had decided on a Fujifilm X-E2 as it seems to be a cheap way into mirrorless with the advantage (or so I thought) of having a EVF.
I know there is a EVF for the Canon M3 but it's too expensive for what it is and it looks horrible when attached to the body so I have ruled that out.
A friend on mine who is also a Canon user has recently bought a Fujifilm X-A10, he loves it, and he said he is glad it doesn't have an EVF as he feels it would be difficult to use with a compact body.
So now I am not sure which way to go.
As I know the Canon system very well, I've also been toying with the idea of buying a M3 and just using the screen.
I'm not adverse to learning the Fujifilm system but wondering if I really do need an EVF and if not I could still go the Fujifilm route but with a newer body.
I think my brain is stuck in old school mode as like most, I've used my phone for photos but I much prefer to use a camera with a EVF and I just can't get past the idea of not having one.
I suppose the obvious thing to do would be to go to a shop, hold a Fujifilm X-A10, X-E3 and a Canon M3 and seeing how they feel to hold when taking photos.
I'm only talking about compact bodies as there is no point comparing them to a DSLR as I already have that covered.
I'm wondering if anyone has used both a mirrorless EVF and non EVF system and what your view is on this?
