Above: Hello ultra detailed image. With the firmware programming tools now available, various GH1 owners have been tinkering with the camera. EOSHD has been keeping a close watch on early developments.

Every wondered how the Sony Alpha series delivers a live view image from a very small sensor in the viewfinder housing without cropping, mimicking the field of view of the main CMOS, while enabling super fast phase detect AF at the same time?

This video interview is about the basics of using HDSLRs but I managed to fit in a bit about the Zacuto Z-Finder!
