When I first got my Sony A55, my cousin told me that it uses an EVF and it wasn't that good, I tried OVF before and I must say its quite good but now I'm in love with EVF cause it gives me the picture 'preview' before I take the shot, Sure that EVF sucks when taking picture in low light cause everything is 'pixellated' but that's just getting used to it. My point is everything has pros and cons, no item is 'perfect'
