The view finder
is probably the most important part of the camera. It’s your connection to what
the camera is seeing, what it’s focusing on, and what your shot is going to
look like. It’s one of the most crucial parts in taking a good photo. Unfortunately
though, it tends to get ignored, amid the jabber on pixels, sensors, and frames per-second. Those things are important, but I don’t think that the viewfinder has been treated
with the importance that its due. As if to prove my point further, I noticed
while browsing through camera specs, the viewfinder specs where the ones most
often left out!
In this post I’d
like to talk more about the view finder, and some of the things that make a
good one (or a bad one). Now, to completely honest, this post was born out of my
curiosity to learn more about the viewfinder and not my immense store of
knowledge, but I try my best to explain things as simply as I can!
