I'm not sure why NameHere doesn't just write "killfile me" in the first
line of his reply and save every-one the trouble.

It would make it too easy for even those unfamiliar with the P&S Troll
to recognize it, which would defeat the purpose of all its
nym-shifting.

Even if it was a 60fps EVF, at this price-point I would be very
surprised if a 640x480 EVF could "cut the mustard".
If it were possible to stream an HD video signal from this sensor to an
HD EVF, then it might (maybe) be worth it.

Then it would be necessary to convince users to re-buy all of their
favoured FL lenses, assuming that the use of an EVF (and external HD
video stream) was taken full advantage of to shrink the mount to sensor
distance and make the camera body a lot smaller.

Your killfile doesn't seem to work for you even when I use the same name,
why should I bother making your life easier for you? You'll still be a
****ing idiot either way. Nothing will ever change that.

6 micron pixel pitch is 167 lines/mm.

Judging by your photography posted to the SIs that was money well wasted.
Matter of fact, anyone that has submitted photos for the SIs so far have
wasted their money on camera gear, when it could have been put to good use
on something of which any of them might have an inkling of aptitude. We can
rule out photography as a choice judging by everyone's posted entries.

True. Too bad it's your own stupidity and ignorance.

'They' are using a different sensor design. This sensor has a maximum
output of about 7300 lines per second.

You guessed right. Image quality still improves as the sensor resolution
increases, even beyond the optical limits of the system.

That's their problem. There are better sensor designs in cameras that don't
depend on antiquated mechanical mirror and shutter contraptions from last
century. If they had any plans to use an EVF then they would change the
sensor design to accommodate that improvement.

It doesn't change the fact at all that you're nothing but a ****ing idiot
troll that doesn't even own a camera. Proved time and time again.
