if you really wanted to go back in time, E-10 and E-20 were first, howeverIf I am not mistaken, Fuji S3 UVIR Pro was the first to offer this live view possibility..
If Kirk is right...and I hope he is...then DPR's specs are wrong. They indicate that the pixel dimensions are reduced for other aspect ratios: eg 3/2 is 4608 x 3072 or 14.155mp and the largest square is 11.94mp. It is true that if you 'only need 12mp', we're covered in all these aspect ratios! (Ooops! already corrected...)Kirk Tuck has the best review, so far:
He is the first to report that it has a new feature for Olympus (but available on the GH2) – the ability to select aspect ratios 4:3, 3:2, and 16:9 without cropping. This feature premiered on the LX3, and I found it to be invaluable.
Riley, I have no clue which one was the first to offer the feature of this thread. The point is that it is not new. You seem to confirm it with additional and even older candidates.if you really wanted to go back in time, E-10 and E-20 were first, however
the Fuji was time limited to 30 seconds, couldn't AF and was B&W only
slight limitation ?
:ROTFL: Nothing is new around here. :watch:Riley, I have no clue which one was the first to offer the feature of this thread. The point is that it is not new. You seem to confirm it with additional and even older candidates.

I thought the Fuji S3 pro UVIR did not black out during the bulb exposure...no?oh sure
the thing now is that this camera doesnt black out between frames. Apparently even at 9fps the 'video' feed through liveview is constant
Difficult to tell what's going on there - could be beta firmware, could be slow SDHC card etc. It didn't look continuous live view to me - more like frozen view between shots. This could be a configuration option... Could be it wasn't configured for constant live view.Not sure what the first big blackout is but on the second try they hit the buffer pretty quickly as it hasn't cleared from the first round. This is where the Nikon system is pretty amazing.
So far, it still seems nobody seems to have put all the specs into one camera.
If that is true, it's a huge step forward. It would mean that the OM-D would be usable for sports photography.oh sure

Im hoping its true too, their is already wide misreporting of the sensor installed and that just isnt helpful. Im hoping that this news about the EVF system is real, it shouldnt take too long to sort that out if people look/ask for it.If that is true, it's a huge step forward. It would mean that the OM-D would be usable for sports photography.
From what I read it's not constant, but only 29 or 26ms. I'm not sure that includes the shutter time, but it seems faster than even the D700 from what I found through Google.oh sure

Unfortunately I mast sayThere is always a caveat to Olympus claims. I bet it also says record breaking speed is also only at wide angle. I believe that was the case on the E-P3. Oly have great marketers who can deftly nuance words and meanings.
