There's always live view for DSLR
Call me old school, but i still prefer OVF than EVF though lol

Yeah, but the AF will be very slow for models without dual pixels.
EVF also show the exposure compensation you made in real time and focus peaking.

There are times where OVF is better though, i.e. motion tracking. That remains for DSLR directory. I feel mirrorless is the better choice in other fields.

Have you ever encountered situation where you thought you have captured something after looking through viewfinder just to realised everything is pitch black because you forgot to set shutter speed from 1/4000? That is ovf and more likely to develop habit of constantly checking on live view after every shot. Evf less problem on that unless you just want to check sharpness.

However if you doing burst shot or on fast moving subject, ovf is superior.

EVF has improved a lot already. Last time, like my Fuji S7000 - wah EVF is so laggy.

Nowadays EVF is so good, the inexperienced will think they're viewing through OVF.
