Leica's SL $12000 camera. The EVF. Big, bright, but...

diopter control. This isn't a new phenomenon. My lowly Panasonic G1
with its measly 400k viewfinder was much better than the 1.2M
viewfinder in my original Olympus E-M5. The E-M5 was almost
impossible to use for manual focusing. The E-M5II handily corrected
that. It seems that pixel-counts are not the only attribute an EVF
needs.



Weird. I've always found the manual focus in the EM5 dead easy with
the focus zoom-in turned on. The EM5M2 EVF is much sharper and it has
the option of focus confirmation outlines which make things even easier
if that's possible. But for astro stuff with it I still find myself
relying on the focus zoom-in as it is less distracting.
