Originally posted by Na Horuk Yep, two sensors in one camera. This is what the patent that I mentioned was about. Why use the 16MP or 24MP sensor for the tiny live view screen? Just exposing it to dust and heating it up for nothing.
Sony did it, and the result wasn't that good. The result was a compromised Live View and a compromised optical viewfinder.

Check DXOMark
Going back to Sony (with the excellent 16MP sensor first used in the K-5) was the best thing they could do. Sure, if they can find a competitive non-Sony sensor, perhaps cheaper or "better" in some way, I don't see why they wouldn't use it. But making a goal in moving away from Sony, really?
