You are rendering an opinion on something that you haven\'t used then or not even handled before? Of course, you can but no offense, how can people put value on that though? I would suggest for you to go to a store where you can handle the 5D Mark III and judge that yourself. To a certain degree, it is actually kind of difficult to do so as the viewfinder display and illumination of that camera can be customized to your need since I can imagine that the one in a store has the default setting.
That\'s mostly true, but it isn\'t much different than someone (not you) rendering an opinion on a matter in which they in all likelihood shoot different subjects and do so in different ways than those who are having a problem with this new VF.
Also, when reports of this issue first surfaced, about three weeks before my 5D Mark III arrived, I too was genuinely concerned, but tried to keep an open mind. It wasn\'t until I began using AI Servo and shooting in action-heavy situations in back-to-back shoots, after the camera had been thoroughly vetted, that I formally rendered an opinion on this matter. I honestly tried to make it work, but I\'ve now had the camera for a couple of months and trying to \"just get used to it\" hasn\'t helped. So it isn\'t completely unfair for him to form an opinion on this matter, and if he\'s like me, his fears will be confirmed when he picks one up and tries it for the first time.
