Neuro said:I had no problems using the touchscreen for AF point movement (with the thumb of my left hand) when using the EVF and the screen next to my cheek
SGSM: are you saying that instead of supporting you long and heavy lens with your left palm you let lens go, hold camera in your right hand and while you hold long and heavy assembly singlehandedly by the camera body grip you use your left hand to move af points around?
I do not see this being practical unless the lens attached is a smaller one.
It has to be done with The same hand you holding camera in. I have tried. It did not work for me the way I expected. Joystick Would address the issue.
I wear glasses. This augments the issue further as you put smudges on your glasses when you touch around screen while you hold camera next to your cheek.
Everyone's experience is different.
I used my left hand to hold a 70-200, just as I do with a DSLR. I used my right thumb to move the autofocus points around the viewfinder while looking through the viewfinder. I had no problem with my face getting in the way. I also wear glasses. I did not notice any unusual or additional smudging of my glasses. I'm right handed and my dominant eye is my right eye, so maybe that makes a difference
I did not use it with a 100-400, but because of my age and being a wimp, I get usually too fatigued holding either the 100-400 or the Sigma 150-600 for long periods and use a monopod.
This all seems pointless frankly. Some people like the "R" some like DSLRs, some like both. (I'm in that category). Buy and use whatever you prefer. One reason why DSLRs aren't going anywhere anytime soon.
