Wired has a tantalizing piece about several models of EVIL (Electronic Viewfinder Interchangeable Lens) cameras. These seem to combine the most essentially useful features of consumer digitals (size, electronic viewfinder) with at least some that are normally found on DSLRs (interchangeable lenses, larger camera sensors, high-speed focus):

Looking at the lenses for these cameras, they seem to have what (to a user of DSLR lenses) appear to be extremely low focal lengths (eg 7mm). Given the smaller bodies on these cameras the upshot seems to be that we'll all just have to reset our intuitive understandings of what it means to be shooting with a 10mm lens.
So I'm curious to know if anyone's using one of these EVILs already. And if so, please share your thoughts and experiences! I'm particularly interested in hearing how they compare (especially optically) to the larger DSLRs. |
