It's not 20 MP either <g>.

Why do you really believe that this sort of consumer-level EVF would pass muster on a pro-level MF digital camera?

Not sure why CCD vs CMOS matter.

Perhaps you want to elaborate on this? There's enough elaboration available on the net. You're telling me to do some research, but you don't care to do some yourself. You don't even understand what the term "full frame CCD" refers to. -- Regards, Robert http://www.arumes.com
