You were alluding that the rumour is false. I was defending the rumour, not the camera.Already making excuses for Sony and the cameras are still only rumors.

No direct access to ISO, White balance, or "C" custom button
Hopefully the wooden mock up was incomplete since it doesn't appear to have a microphone for video.

Why all the hubub over the back of the camera buttons? there is one button and one switch on the A700 back that is not on the mockup. The "C" button, which i would miss, and the SSS switch, which stays on 90% of the time for me. Everything else is just moved around. The power switch is moved to the shutter button area. I am more concerned over the direct ISO and WB buttons that were on top. Maybe you can customize the buttons for what you use more. I use ISO and WB FAR more than EV or drive modes. But in reality, i do not mind the menu system as used in the A700, even w/o the diret buttons.

It is an EVF - there is no apparent reason why it shouldn't cover 100% - (with an optical viewfinder it would be a different story).
Well, from what I've read, the old pellicle mirrors were flimsy and fixed. The patent describes a mirror sturdy enough to act as a normal SLR mirror for still photography. It would remain down for video (and for LV with PD AF).
It also provides yet another implementation of "fast AF LV" with phase detect AF during LV ... but this time with main sensor, rather than secondary sensor. Whether I plan to shoot video or not, I think I like the sounds of this camera.

Actually, all I said was this:... and, as you say, the cameras are still only rumors.Already making excuses for Sony and the cameras are still only rumors.
"I thought an EVF pretty much always displays 100%. I wonder if this 95% spec is accurate?"

Keep in mind at how much the NEX changed from when these prototypes was shown. This is not the final design of A7XX.

There are certain limits of the EVF size anyway. And I prefer 1.1x 95% over 1x 100% for a non-professional camera.

Yes, Ken, I agree--but I don't want to have to hear any more about mlu--so for goodness sake Sony include mlu in the A5xx cameras!

First, no one said it must be 100%, but usually there is no reason for an EVF not to cover 100% as it gets the live feed from the main sensor, which IS covering 100% of what it will capture for still images too.
The whole idea of a pellicle system is to allow phase detection combined with a live feed from the main sensor. But I'm always interested in surprises so if Sony somehow came up with a different system, I'll gladly stand corrected.
A33 and A55 should use main sensor LV.
According to the sony patent, there is no prism/secondary mirror, all EVF datafeed is from what's you get in photo.
Unless sony cripples it intentionally in order to leave the gap for future A77, it should be 100%, and the rumor is wrong.

Henry, as I remember it, Toru said that the new cameras will be like standard cameras on the outside, but completely new on the inside. Obviously he wasn't talking about NEX.

I think it may actually be 100% for the "translucent" cameras.
