Dear fellow PDML'ers. I don't believe this is new. Olympus had two DSLRs with live LCD for years! Olympus E-20. Also the E-10, I believe. They don't have exchangeable lenses, but nevertheless, they are still DSLRs vwith a live LCD. All the best Jens

After looking at other press releases, I don't think it's a ZLR. It looks like the optical viewfinder is still there. I'll bet the "Live Image Mode" moves the mirror, opens the mechanical shutter, and captures an image from the CCD a couple of times a second. Look out, batteries! Tim On 12/16/04 8:03, Peter J.
