(SR4) Updated and corrected: 1.44 million dot EVF for the A55 and A33.
REMINDER: Sony will anounce the new A55 and A33 translucent cameras on August 24th!
As you may remember few months ago Sony signed an agreement with Epson to Transfer to Sony Certain Epson Business Assets Relating to Small- and Medium-Sized TFT Liquid Crystal (Source: Epson). According to our sources the new translucent cameras should use a 1.44 megapixel (OLED???) EVF with built-in virtual horizon!
There are two main advantage of using the Translucent+EVF combination:.
1) Phase detection works for stills and video
2) Full time Live View (no mirror blackouts)
Reminder (SR = Sonyrumor):
SR1=probably fake rumor
SR2=rumor from unkown sources
SR3=50% chance it is correct
SR4=rumor from known sources
SR5=almost certainly correct!
In the meanwhile the Sony A500 (Click here) and the Sony A550 (Click here) do get big discounts on amazon!
