Customer Evaluations

This OLED viewfinder is a outstanding addition to my NEX-5N. I was pleasantly surprised considering a handful of days right after I placed the order I received the shipping notification from Amazon though it is at all times out of stock.
I have no encounter with other electronic viewfinders but I can tell you this one particular is impressive. Really high resolution, sharp and all the necessary info shown in the viewfinder - even the live histogram. (One weird thing even though when adjusting exposure compensation you wont see the histogram. It behaves the very same way on the LCD - I do not know what Sony was thinking... hopefully they will alter this in a firmware update)
You can go by means of on the camera's menu in the VF which works amazing (you can't utilize the LCD's touch function - which I believe wouldn't be attainable anyway). I have the soft buttons customized and I discovered it straightforward to adjust the settings through the viewfinder. If you have the focus set to "Flexible Spot" you can move around the spot by pressing the scroll wheel and do not have to take your eyes off the finder. Quite neat... But the other two soft buttons are not VF friendly. They are flat and don't stick out from the physique so it's challenging to discover them - a firmware upgrade will not help on this but you can place some small rubber bumper pads on them.
You can also assessment the photographs in the viewfinder which is also terrific, the brightness and the colors are the exact same that you will see on the computer screen.
There are also a few negatives to look at when employing the viewfinder. The initially and most significant is the price - it will be prohibitive for countless. It cost 50% of the 5N body which is a joke... $250 would be nonetheless significantly but a great deal more realistic. With it the NEX-5N price practically as significantly as the NEX-7 which has the same VF built-in although you can not tilt that one.
If you attach the VF to the physique it sticks out and may well not fit in a slim bag or in your jacket pocket. If it does be cautious when you pull it out - don't forget it is $350.
You can not use the flash even though the VF occupies the accessory port and oftentimes this can be troubling. Take the VF off place the flash on take the flash off put the VF back on... I don't know when will I expertise make contact with issues. I guess right after the warranty expires.
One particular a lot more factor - I don't like as well a number of bits and pieces because I have a lot more chance to lose them but at least the VF comes with a little pouch so I can maintain the flash in it while the VF is on the camera.
I have no regrets shopping for it and it will stay on my NEX-5N 95% of the time. If you buy it you will appreciate it but if you think it doesn't worth $350 for you that is understandable considering that it is definitely overpriced.

The OLED True-Finder has an amazingly realistic screen. You can identify yourself finding addicted to it, even indoors. You may perhaps never use your LCD screen once again to compose photos.
The overall brightness of the screen is also especially correct, which is why you will use it often to assessment your photos and establish if you below or over-exposed the shot.
There is a diopter adjustment on 1 side of the viewfinder, and one more button on the other side for manually switching between LCD and viewfinder.
