Youtuber JCristina doesn't understand the concept of OVF and EVF

July 18, 2020


JCristina (aka Joseph Cristina) is a small and not very known Youtuber that I stumbled upon recently. I watched one of his latest videos talking about the upcoming rumored Nikon Z5. I had to chuckle when I saw how he explained the OVF and EVF. At 5:32 he says: 
Remember, the EVF is our augmented reality. In the past we had our OVF, when you look through the camera you see out of the lens and what you see is not what you get, right? You had to actually set things before you got them right after the fact when you looked at the back, when you chimped at the back of the camera, right? Now the EVF is your augmented reality, virtual reality, however you set the camera up, when you look through the EVF, that's exactly what you gonna get when you pull the trigger. [...] What you see is what you get.
Here is the video that he made:

Response to Thom Hogan's article about Nikon's and Canon's DSLR strategy

January 16, 2020



Thom Hogan is a Nikon user manual writer, who is also known as a blogger that writes about cameras and the photography industry. He's often engaged in various photography forums, writing endlessly long comments and opinions. In one of his latest blog posts titled The DSLR Cash Cow is Alive For How Long? he laments the iterative updates by Canon and Nikon in the shape of their recent D780 and 1DX Mark III releases. In one of his initial paragraphs he says following:
What I'm seeing is the traditional Milk the Cow approach to the DSLR to mirrorless transition, and not an overly well done version of that, too. All the accountants in charge at Canon and Nikon appear to think that there's still "some money" left in the DSLR till they can extract, but they don't want to spend too much in money or effort to get it out.

DSLR cameras outsold compact cameras for the first time, still outselling mirrorless

There is this divide among photography enthusiasts, where online warriors place themselves into 2 camps: The mentally unbalanced people who are ardently pro mirrorless (usually Sony fans), and everybody else (people who tend to see things as they are - complex). For the past 5-6 years there is a real mirrorless hype mainly driven by Sony fanboys and their artisans (who are some of the most annoying people on the internet, to be honest).
