Except they're not at all RF-like.
(except in the physical size of the camera)

When speaking of RF's we're talking about a viewing/focusing system;
which none of the cameras under discussion have.

And it remains to be seen whether any of these other view systems
will work in any way close to the precise, quick focusing
of a well calibrated RF with manual focus lenses.
