OVF is not a must for wildlife photography. Many, many photographers use mirrorless for wildlife. Here is just one example.Nikon Shooter wrote:

Good tip here as lenses are waaaay more important then bodies in
terms of investment.
Granted, EVF is ok for landscapes but an OVF is a must for wildlife.

You can say it until the cows come home, but it's just not true. I've seen too many use mirrorless for every scenario. I know what I can and can't do with mine. OVF is better than the lower end mirrorless cameras but the upper echelon cameras have no problem keeping up. I have no more of an issue than I did with my D200. I actually get better results than with my D200 but it is an older camera.Nikon Shooter wrote:

Wildlife and sport photography are the most demanding for
both the gear and the shooter.
Even with an OVF, the fastest glass and the most recent AF
system, there are times when the gear is pushed over its abi-
lities by situations and ambitious shooters.
EVF is ok for slow moving and predictable subjects — thin-
king of Ospreys and other large birds like Swans or of golf
and tennis players — but would be overwhelmed and out of
place by the ice rink or for small, fast, unpredictable flyers.

Just curious. How many hours have you spent using a mirrorless camera?Nikon Shooter wrote:

That sounds like a strong opinion, Randy, but
my experience is an other.
I never heart that with the cows before… funny!
