I hadn\'t noticed the benefit that would accrue from this for shooting video with the camera up to the eye for stability. They could just put an OLED on the top back surface of the prism and turn it on when the mirror has blocked out the optical image - no new moving parts needed...
I\'m able to hold the camera much more steadily when propped against the head with my elbows tucked than I am holding the camera out away from the face in a manner that will allow me to see the rear LCD. I think a live view in the finder for these situations might be useful.
Then again, I\'m still applying still-shooter logic to video-shooter situations.
I think a lot of us are doing that. Some can\'t even brig themselves to imaging video at all.
With the camera to the eye and hand on the focus ring, it would be possible to maintain critical focus in more situations, I suspect, for video. I\'ve never had a video camera where the MF was worth anything, so it\'s all new
