i think what everyone really wants to know is, is there anything special or non-conventional about the viewfinder aside from its ~100% coverage?
Hey, this looks cool. Appreciations to those who made the efforts. Looks really good.
But, illdefined, it does still look like they used that new prism design, (That look like the kind of mirror you'd expect, folks?) ...and according to one of these posts, it appears that the screen is for more-accurate manual focus (seems maybe you get less apparent DOF from the brightening,) so that seems helpful. Looking like some improvements on 'pretty nice' rather than the real show-stopper I was rooting for, but it would seem they got a more-sophisticated Live View in the system, as you'd expect with video.
Looks pretty good. Also looks like they really packed stuff in there, that looks pretty small.
(And I do kind of like the look of the new lens: the DA-style zoom rings are very practical and feel good, but look a little odd to me somehow. Not that it matters much: it's the primes I'm after.
