Redpill me on screen vs viewfinder debate.

Personally I find screen to be way more comfortable. Viewfinder is a total pain in the ass.

Anyone who actually uses the viewfinder over the screen is simply a child larping as an army man looking down the rifle scope. The viewfinder offers absolutely no advantages over the screen and anyone who uses it looks immature.

You are why we don’t allow women and fags to have rights, mashallah. Muhammad was right about many things.

Viewfinders are more usable in bright light and make it easier to hold the camera steady for long exposures or tracking moving subjects.

Also when debating EVF vs the rear screen the EVF is often better quality, higher res, OLED with greater dynamic range, and higher refresh rate.

Slightly more stupid "debate" than 35mm vs 50mm

Despite having video monitors, movie directors still use the traditional optical viewfinder on the camera to get a precise idea of colours, framing and lighting. A video monitor/evf can be deceptive in all of these concerns. They are also useless in bright light, and give unrealistic representation in dark conditions.

This was such a big issue for me when I got my first mirrorless camera I had to keep reminding myself. Eventually I learned that going off the histo and light meter was a far better idea and got used to that, but it's just a non-issue with OVFs

Yeah and muhammad also fucked kids so who cares really?

I don't have this problem.

Use a tripod then? Are you dumb? You think holding your camera like a widdle army man is gonna fix your issues? At best it's placebo.
>>4497905
Any respectable photographer doesn't care about these things. Keep throwing acronyms and technical jargon around and see if your photography improves (it won't).

Low tier bait.
