Which IQ is shaper as seen from DSLR VF or with mirrorless body with VF attached

Hi, If you have mirrorless body and DSLR with mirror, which IQ is sharper as seen through the VF

 

[Octarine]

Since bodies without mirror use sensors and electronic displays there is already a physical limitation to what can be displayed - compared to the (theoretically) infinite resolution of an optical VF. Personally, I find the lag of electronic VF more irritating.
But then: why does IQ as seen through VF really matter?

 

[Rashkae]

Depends on the DSLR body too. Some, like the A900 or the 1dsMkIII, have nice big viewfinders. That makes more of a difference imho.

other than that, optical viewfinder is also clearer and brighter than EVF.

I find AF when using EVF still bloody slow.

I can't take photos without an optical viewfinder nowadays! :bsmilie:

Hi, Optics is purer than digital electronics though both have imperfections which are corrected by image processing except in B&W or raw format.

Not sure what point you're trying to make...
