Don't get me wrong, the Sony is fast - in almost every discipline. Just not with exposure compensation. Mirrorless and LiveView usually means intuitive spontaneous photography with one finger on the EV wheel. It is awesome that Sony has a third dedicated dial for setting the exposure compensation. That's what I like about the PEN-F too. But in contrast to Olympus, Sony apparently values deceleration.
The following fictional dialogue should show how a typical wedding situation with the Sony feels compared to the PEN-F. Dear Sony users, please don't hate me!
Now just imagine the bride being led into church by her father. The church is relatively dark and daylight shines through the open door behind father and daughter. One turn of the exposure compensation and everything would be fine...
Me: Camera, please make one f-stop brighter.
Sony: Sure man, I'll take care of it.
Look, it's getting brighter already. A little.
Isn't it nice how smooth the brightness increases?
It's really a whole lot brighter now, isn't it?
Almost there.
Just one more moment.
So, heeeeeere we are!
PEN-F: Whoosh, done.
(And the PEN really isn't a rocket.)
Yes, I understand that changing exposure as smooth as possible is great for video. But what reason in the world is there to use the same behaviour for photos as well? By the time the preview looks fine, the exposure situation has already changed three times. Under these circumstances there's not only no fun in using Live View, but - sorry - it also doesn't make any sense at all. How the hell do colleagues work with that and can even be excited about it?
