Handheld is easy since nowadays the image sensor is sited on top of a chicken head like this:  https://youtu.be/L9jhWTrv9rY  ;D

Actually no it isn't in my Z50. The sensor is static. The VR is entirely in the lens.

The only annoying bit is when the lens isn't powered the barrel clunks around as you're walking which is really bloody annoying when you're on a huge great long hike to somewhere to take photos of stuff.

SiliconWizard:
So anyway, I am no professional photographer at all but I do think you tend to take "better" photos with an optical viewfinder. It's purely a "user interface" point. An optical view beats an indirect view through a camera and a display. It might not be the case at all for future generations when people will have become cyborgs, or something.

bd139:
Definitely can't agree with that. You get to see what the sensor is seeing. That gives you a better chance to retake anything where you've blown out areas. Also on the rear screen of the camera you get a live histogram so you can actually manage exposure better.

Good example here. Contrast of this was extremely difficult to capture without reviewing it during the shot.



That was taken on a smartphone for ref, not a proper camera. But the point is it gives decent feedback instantly as to what you are taking rather than having to work with what you thought you took later.
