No; I notice Alexramos says it is sequential technology, in which case it's like the Panasonic G and GH series EVFs, or the Sony ones before the OLED EVF (i.e. Alpha 33, 55, 35). These are the types that for some people can produce a rainbow flicker effect on items such as white superimposed lettering and numerals if you blink, move your eye quickly, or pan the camera quickly - but others may hardly notice it.
Other cameras cost similar to the NEX 7 and have worse EVF's. That isn't the only measure to use to compare the cameras.
Here is the thing, they update cameras in 1 year or so cycles. Manufacturers trickle out technology to the consumers so they always have something for you to upgrade to. I wouldn't expect anything in 1 or 2 months. Next year? Maybe. Unless they announce a higher end camera soon.
If it is not a confidential source, would you mind telling us where you got that information? (or a link perhaps.)
Agreed, I have seen nothing firm from Samsung (press releases don't say anything). I wouldn't be surprised since it seems most Sony and Panasonic cameras seem to use that sequential technology (besides the A65, A77, and NEX 7 and maybe a few others). I notice they don't clearly specify, and when they do that it means it is probably the lesser spec'ed version, but it would be nice if they said straight up what it is (unless it isn't finalized yet, but it seems late to be changing that).
My experience to try NX20 and NEX-7 EVF.. both of them are nice and much better compare to the previous EVF..
does it include general electronics? because what I'm seeing right now is that Sony is getting eaten by Samsung alive and is losing ground of it's foothold as an electronics giant. I don't see the point of Sony selling it's materials to it's potential competitor unless they wanted to be out of the business. it's more like arming your enemy. besides, this is not the first time for Samsung to create or recreate their own sensors. it's not like Sony has the only capability.
