Mirrorless camera Sony a7c

Hello, dear LEDstrain. Not long ago I upgraded my camera to a full-frame Sony a7c. Before that, I used a Sony a6000 for two years. At first, everything was fine with the camera, but on the fifth day after shooting with the viewfinder, unpleasant sensations appeared, similar to PWM. I try to avoid OLED screens, the only experience is Nothing phone 2. It was very bad, I returned it to the store, since then I have only been using IPS. And here's the question - could the sensations from the viewfinder just be a coincidence with something else and why did they not appear right away? As far as I know, both the Sony a6000 and the Sony a7c use an OLED viewfinder, but the a6000 did not bring any unpleasant sensations.

Perhaps this is not quite the answer to your question, but I want to share my experience using the Sony a7c on one of my trips.

A year ago, I owned a Sony a7c. From the first day of use, I felt eye strain. The camera's viewfinder had low resolution and was a bit blurry, which made my eyes strain when trying to focus on the image. Additionally, I noticed a strong moiré effect, which caused significant eye strain. Shooting through the IPS screen also led to problems for me. It's possible the IPS screen used PWM, as I saw flickering on some colors during slow-motion shooting on my phone. I sold this camera and bought a Canon R.

The viewfinder on the Canon R is much better; I still couldn't use it constantly, but the symptoms were not as severe as when using the Sony a7c viewfinder. The IPS screen on the Canon R doesn't have PWM, but it seems there is dithering because during prolonged photo and video shooting through it, I started to feel eye strain (but it is manageable, unlike what I experienced with the Sony a7c).

The Canon R will likely also be put up for sale due to dithering on the IPS screen. I will return to my old camera with an optical viewfinder.
