攝影的思考：光學 v.s 電子觀景窗
1. 給兩台機身拍了照，一台是 N單反時期，不論機身美學設計與人體工學
，可能都是頂尖的機器D4S。一台是無反旗艦Z9。

4. 當我想到：下一個世代的攝影人，當他們記錄下影像前，那最後一眼看到的瞬間只能是電子觀景窗的圖像時，心中竟悲涼了起來。可能是我多想，也可能是真悲涼。
5. 科技產品有這麼多可能性，相機也各型各樣，但有一樣東西好像被歷史直接跳過，那就是「帶有反光鏡且與無反一樣擁有涵蓋整個畫面、超過數百個對焦點的相機」。

7. 是什麼阻止了這種相機的出現？是物理的限制（反光鏡下方的對焦模塊只塞得下畫面中央區域的對焦）？還是成本的考量？（反光鏡下方一套對焦模組，傳感器上再一塊對焦模組，兩者重疊？）
8. 仔細想想，若單純是
「成本考量」，割捨反光鏡也是情有可原，因為相機本身若要負擔起錄影的任務，反光鏡本身就是累贅，棄之並不可惜。

Reflections on Photography: OVF v.s EVF
1. The era of DSLRs has swiftly passed, yet I cherish the authenticity of perceiving light and warmth through the retina. As I ponder the limitations of EVF, melancholy sets in.
2. I took a photo for two of my cameras. One is NIKON DSLR D4S, possibly the top-notch in terms of design and ergonomics. The other is the flagship mirrorless Z9.
3. The era of DSLRs has swiftly passed, yet I cherish the authenticity of perceiving light and warmth through the retina. As I ponder the limitations of EVFs, melancholy sets in.
5. When I realize the photographers of next generation can only see through an electronic viewfinder before capturing the moment, a sense of melancholy creeps into my heart.
6. Cameras come in various forms. However, one thing has been directly skipped over by history: a camera with a reflex mirror that also has the almighty autofocus as mirrorless cameras.
7. Imagine if Nikon were to release a D7, using OVF while maintaining the autofocus performance of the Z9. Wouldn’t that be wonderful? Of course, I’m not referring to the Live View version like NIKON D780, but a true marriage of D and Z.
8. What prevents the existence of such a camera? Is it the physical limitations (the space below the mirror can only accommodate a small area of autofocus points)?
9. Or is it a matter of cost? (Double autofocus modules below the mirror and on the sensor?)
10. If it’s purely a matter of cost, it’s understandable to abandon the reflex mirror because it becomes a burden for the camera when it has to handle video recording.
11. Furthermore, “vibration and noise caused by the reflex mirror” has always been annoying. It might be better to follow the example of the Z9, leaving the sensor alone and simulating the shutter sound through a speaker.
12. “Enjoying the sound of a shutter release” has gradually become a nostalgic experience in this era.
13. The more I think about it, the more I understand the various reasons why the camera industry has moved away from reflex mirrors.
14. However, if someone were to create a “DSLR with the focus ability of Mirrorless”, I might still leave the EVF without hesitation, even though Z9 are good enough. I believe the experience of an OVF is second to none.
