I expected future DSLRs to be like mFT (i.e., w/o the R/reflex) since a while. However, I see a key technology been required (and the mFT announcement leaves this question in the dark). Namely:

A decent electronic VF (EVF), which would have to be like an optical viewfinder with the focus screen replaced by an internal 2+ Mpixel OLED screen. As soon as these arrive will the mirror box be gone.
