I don't think my A2 EVF is that high resolution. Besides resolution, the other key issue is display frame rate. I don't like the jerkiness that you see when you pan, or if you have a fast moving subject. If Sony can tackle both frame rate and resolution, then EVF is a good alternative to an OVF.

Um... why? The first image on the forum looks a lot like the a900 mock-up at last year's PMA.

Yeah...the first image shows the A900 mock-up, but the second one (the one with the flip-screen) shows the rear part of the A200 body layout, with one extra button (for live-view probably).

I never had an A2, I got that info from the DPR review of the camera (scroll down the page to the Electronic ViewFinder part).

Here is another photo someone posted on dpreview. Looks like the A200 with live-view.

Wow is this for real? I dont understand. Why would they not put live view in the A700 and then suddenly in a new model? Assuming both models were designed around the same time...

DOF preview & live view with tilt screen makes a nice macro camera

Its clearly a lower spec camera to the A700, so it cant be the A900.

Looks real to me :) I wonder if there is an A700+LV in the works...

Also, if this is like the A200, no DOF preview :(

It doesn't seem to have DOF preview, at least the corresponding A100 button isn't on the body where it should be.
I see a third button on the upper plate... I wonder what that is for?


Hmmm... questions, questions... What type of VF? What sensor?


The viewfinder casing is different from A200, as far as I can tell, but... what does that mean?

My first thought was also: 'Is this real?'

I don't miss LV coz I'm an old fashioned guy, but I really do like the looks of it. Also the grip, looks very firm to me (a whole lot better than the decaingrip I use on mu A100). If it's real? Well done Sony!

The thought had crossed my mind that they might have a sister range... A700, A700L, A200, A200L, A900, A900L, A500, A500L etc. A camera for everyones needs and budget.

Thats kind of overly complicated from a distribution and marketing point of view. Better just to have one model with all the functions.

I wonder if there's any coincidence if the new model has live view but no DOF preview ... just wondering if there's going to be more to this LV implementation than meets the eye.
