Isn't this what's used in Olympus E-10 ans E-20? I guess the downside is a not so bright vievfinder, at least that's what a E-10 user tells me.

...use a pellicle-mirror design in their recent DSLR's? A Pellicle mirror
design, which splits the light between the viewfinder and the CCD array
rather than using a flip-up mirror, would yield the following features: the
camera ISO would start at 100 rather than 200; the viewfinder would never
darken; the camera should be quieter, more reliable, and consume less power
due to fewer moving parts; and the CCD would be protected from dust by the
pellicle mirror.
There must be a downside or two; otherwise such cameras would exist. Thoughts?
