They (the all knowing internet) says that the Canon EOS R has the best EVF of the lot. The issues I have with EVFs are:
- An OVF gives a 3D feel, an EVF a 2D computer screen feel.
- With an OVF I get to imagine/explore the scene in a creative way, guessing what effects/the end result will be regarding what happens in bokeh. With an EVF/live view LCD, that part of my creative input is lost to the "computer screen".
- I have not met an EVF yet that does not give me a noticable lag and a flicker. I have always been quite sensitive to flicker of screens.

The last point may be gone with an EOS R or even a Nikon Z, but the 1st two will remain.

Of course, there are photos where live view/EVF is not hampering me, but for the other types of photos I do prefer OVF.
Here a live view image I took on the weekend with my EOS M:

As to your points:
- 3D feel: that’s relative from a darkness/dimness POV. The darker it is the less 3D it tends to get with an OVF. That is where an EVF comes in handy. Also, I do believe it is related to pixel-count of the EVF. The more pixels, the more fluent the image becomes to the eye, as you can’t see the pixel edges, and hence more 3D if you like.
- Creative way: In what way is an EVF less creative? You can actually see what you get, unlike with an OVF. It gets even better when you can directly see the results of exposure adaptations, and any filters etc. you’d apply. That is virtually impossible with an OVF, and requires a lot of experience to get it right. Absolutely marvelous for e.g., B&W shooting.
- That is changinbg rapidly these days. I do not notice it on my EM-1 II or Pen-F at all, and I mostly use the EVF, not the screen. Neat feature: totally silent shooting .

Very nice photograph, BTW! I really like it, and I think it is one of your best.

Kind regards, Wim
