The lack of an eye-level (electronic) viewfinder is a challenge for me - no being able to brace the camera properly.  Hopefully Canon will in due course launch a mirrorless body with an EVF (and hopefully a next gen APS-C sensor).  I have no inclination to buy another camera based around the current 18MP APS-C sensor.

I wouldn't look at a mirrorless Canon until it has quality EVF. While the little tunnel optical viewfinder on the G-Series is a piece of rubbish, it's still preferable to composing and shooting with the camera at arms length like an iPhone. Errgh. Years ago I had a little Canon S3is P&S with an EVF. As far as EVF's go it was seriously entry level, but I didn't mind it at all.

I'd expect EVF's to mature pretty quickly to a point where they will be preferable to a DSLR optical viewfinder.

It would be nice to know exactly when the tool in the video started giving out useful information but after watching I'm not sure myself.
