More 'hints' from Sony...

Hmmm have you seen panasonics micro four thirds G1 and Gh1 cameras? Those two models have a dedicated electronic view finder which uses live view on the lcd and inside the viewfinder. I tried it in the store but forgot if they have all the information stuff in the viewfinder. Its a really neat little camera...

But Im not sure if thats what you want. Are you asking if they have a optical viewfinder that can switch to live view? Sorry for the confusion.

Thanks for the common sense reply. Yeah, that's basically what I was asking about. Wow! Fascinating! It says its the worlds first full live view, and if I read that correctly, I believe this is not the half fix the Olympus introduced, but that live view works actually inside the viewfinder! That's pretty cool! I would love to check one of those out at a camera store. This camera is actually both powerful and light too! It uses the 4/3 system, but I still am fascinated by the live view. Its a very long read on the review, so I only read about half of it, but it sounds ideal, light, live view, interchangable lens like a DSLR, and got contrast AF. Looks pretty cool on the surface. Yes, its got all the info in the viewfinder too!

thanks,

This one is easier in English on a white background, but its shorter and more interesting I think, not as in depth, but fun reading. Its actually supposed to be similar article in English. I have a French friend, so that's why I was on that page. WYSIWYG, cool!
