What I feel upset with SL-2

> 1000s of shots per session

Why not use a USB-C battery bank?  You can get these in 20AH capacity.  A couple of them should be enough.

That is not photography, it’s a movie….

jajajjajajajaja. No, no. This is in three weeks, not one single session.

Imagine culling 2000 shots each session, what a nightmare!

The story of my life last 9 years. (Cats bless lightroom).

Just to see for myself about the delay in seeing/taking for the SL2. I photographed an online timer. I pressed the shutter button as close I could do when the timer hand was in the centre of the interval. In all cases there is a tiny bit of delay — the small numbers show the fractional difference. The delay is there, but it is really tiny, and may well simply be caused by my finger pressure delay. I repeated the test a couple of times and in all cases there was a similar result. I my type of photography, including occasional casual and formal portraiture, this is really an non-issue.

The exposure time was 1/250 of a second. The delays noted are less than 1/250 of a second. The seconds hand, in each case, moved 1/250 of a second between the start and end of the exposure, so really, can we even consider the delay a real delay given the length of the exposure!?

I tried to upload 14 small jpgs ( all below the max file size) with an error message. So I will try to upload then a little later. 

 

I find the EVF lag increases in low light - I agree that in good light the EVF lag is not a problem, but it certainly can be as light levels drop. It was one of the things I have always evaluated before buying the TL2 (poor), CL (better), SL (quite good) and SL2-S (fairly good)*. The EVF for the M240 and M10 was terrible.

Too many people ask for a higher resolution EVF, when a more useful one would be more responsive, especially in low light.

I agree with you that many cameras a challenged by low light.  I feel the M11 has the same challenge on EVF in low light, but especially when the stage color is blue.

I have used all the latest some cameras in this situation too and the OLED-EVF gets real grani and low res.
