In response to my recent article on EVFs – or, rather, the lack of them in so-called vlogging mirrorless cameras – a reader sent me an interesting email, adding some further observations which got me thinking about a related topic. In my ‘Opinion’ piece I observed that if Canon could put a perfectly good EVF into the superbly-compact PowerShot G5X (the first-gen model, by the way), for example, then there really is no excuse for not having one in the likes of the Fujifilm X-M5 or the Panasonic Lumix S9.
Regardless of whether vlogging cameras are primarily designed for video – when having an EVF isn’t so important – they surely have other applications. The X-M5 really is a brilliant little package that’s however flawed by not having an eyelevel viewfinder which would increase its appeal for photographers.
