And I have a guess for a new use for this "monitor inside a viewfinder": imagine if when the mirror is up and the sensor is capturing the light the new display that is attached to the viewfinder displays the sensor image? If so, then you won't have a blackout when the mirror is up. The best part is: if you leave the mirror up and continues to register a sequence of pictures you wont have the delay of the mirror going up and down and so can have an ultra-burst shooter. But this at the expense of AF... or maybe the contrast AF is improved... this is just my guess ;) Looks crazy for me…
