In my opinion, the 9 million dots of the Sony EVF is a perfect example of Sony being more concerned about the spec sheet, than about the actual performance and user experience. When the Z9 came out, I saw a few reviews of the Z9 where the reviewer also commented on the fact that the Z9's EVF was being out-specced by the Sony A1. And despite having less dots, all the reviewers felt the Z9's EVF was brighter and better. All felt that the they did not notice that there were less dots, and that however many dots the Z9 had, that was enough to be just as detailed. One reviewer quite possibly had the answer...Sony uses cheaper glass in the EVF. That, in my mind, typifies Sony. Specs first, performance last.The A1 only shows the 9 million dots during playback of photos. When shooting it goes down and goes down further with continuous AF and other things. Jared Polin had a video comparing the A1 and R3 and the A1’s EVF looked noticeably worse than the R3’s despite having more dots listed on the spec sheet. If Canon’s is 7 million dots at all times then it would be the best EVF when shooting photos.
