So you know it's out: now what? With the sony (or any EVF) WYSIWYG. I guess with the Sony, if there is little shutter lag, the EVF focusing would be great. Is there? Is the newest Sony quieter with less lag? The M's lag with EVF just kills getting the moment. Using the M's range finder is only limited by your predictive/reactive capabilities. Personally I think at close distance at f1 it's a crap shoot whatever you use. Chances are better the further away you get. Physics rules. I'd like to try a Sony someday. See how the Nocti works...
