SONY SLT translucent cameras future of all DSLRs?

Sep 22, 2010

Apparently a lot of Sony fanboys believe that Sony's new SLT cameras with EVFs render traditional DSLRs obsolete. Sony is also not present in the D7000/60D/7D/K-5 APS-C bracket and their full frame DSLRs (A900/A850) are getting long in the tooth.

I was wondering what you believe will be the impact of the SLTs and if this new approach from Sony could ever get them to #2.
