He could have been talking about a camera with an electronic view finder -
I've used a Niknon 5700 with EVF, which was very impractrical to use to
capture actions images - push the release, count 1, 2 - picture captured.

Recently saw a TV moment featuring a person known for his lightening/sever
storm photos. When asked if he used film or digital, (his equipment showed
an SLR) he explained that he shoots film, "because there is a shutter lag
with digital which would cause him to miss the lightening bolt." What a
double container!
