That's a very big twist in my book. Oh, and the sensor is slightly larger as well. <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

My point was more towards that the technology used for this camera was being used by Minolta, which of course, Sony purchased their camera division. Minolta was dabling with the split image concepts interchangable lens cameras for some time. Though, I don't recall if it ever made it to market, or it did and suffered other constraints (over priced?).
I enjoyed my A2. My biggest complaint was noise and iso. I'd probably still own it if it shot clean up to iso 400 and OK at 800. Still, it handled nice, decent 28-200 lens, built in stabilization, built in ability to use a remote flash, swivel evf, and lcd, etc. If they would release a modern version of this (w/better upper iso performance), I would get one as my grab and go camera.
