It's a 40 MP CCD, and there's a reason why it can only shoot at 1.1 fps. That would be a very slow EVF. -- Regards, Robert http://www.arumes.com

B: Is the MF glass resolving enough to do anything if it does resolve as highly. i.e. are you actually gaining anything.

Even if it was a 60fps EVF, at this price-point I would be very surprised if a 640x480 EVF could "cut the mustard". If it were possible to stream an HD video signal from this sensor to an HD EVF, then it might (maybe) be worth it. Then it would be necessary to convince users to re-buy all of their favoured FL lenses, assuming that the use of an EVF (and external HD video stream) was taken full advantage of to shrink the mount to sensor distance and make the camera body a lot smaller. |
