For the period of the '70s through the '90s I shot a lot of pro video, and
those cameras only offered EVFs, of course. Since video cameras were
introduced in the late 1920s, EVFs have had over 7+ decades of development,
too. ;-)
I'm somewhat surprised that some of the features of the pro video EVFs
haven't made their way into today's digital cameras, since they provided a
way of "seeing" the nuances of an image, allowing in-camera adjustments
prior to the "take".
