An EVF that doesn't have the weird shutter system when you use it (shutter 
is open to see the sensor's image, the, when you press the shutter to 
expose, it closes and opens and closes again to take the exposure. Big 
shutter shake and insufferable shutter lag. Useless), much higher ISO, 
ability to move the magnified EVF focus point around the image rather than 
being stuck in the center, longer exposure times, and the ability to turn 
off the dark/noise mapping exposure shot that happens every time you take a 
long exposure (the SL doesn't allow you to do this either). 

Both Nikon & Sony have all these features (for several years now)...
