On prices, you do realise that an A9 and whatever Sony lens you buy will be cheaper than the Canikon alternative?
Complaining about Sony prices seems to be a continuing theme on forums and I don't understand why people think that although Sony and the competition are about the same price or sometimes in the case of the A9 the Sony is cheaper than the competition the Sony kit should be £850 or maybe even the price of a mid range DVD player. It's a mindset I don't understand as are the references to computers and/or toys.
I have a technical background but I also have an artistic side and before I picked up a camera I was drawing and painting so maybe my ability to deal with tech and my ability to visualise made it easy for me to transition to EVF's. Having said that I'm also extremely picky but I still find EVF's more than good enough and indeed even the relatively poor ones are preferable to some of the optical systems I've used... compact cameras, RF's, SLR's and DSLR's... I'd take the evf equipped cameras I have now over them all. Big. Bright. 100% coverage. Lovely!
John. I don't think these cameras are for you so maybe you should just forget them and come back in a few years time, probably when Canon or Nikon, if they're still in business, have one and if they do I think you might like it especially if it looks and feels like a DSLR.
