Actually, I remember a rumor that the first Pentax DSLR was going to
have LCD preview (about six months before the *ist came out). Doesn't
anyone else remember that?
So I am suspicious of this PDF. That part seems like a recycled rumor.
But you are right about the live preview thing. EVERY Pentax DSLR has
reported this "feature" in the initial press releases as I recall.
Obviously, it is not a true feature.
Either they have been working on it for years (and it's finally finished),
or they recycle their press releases (and keep forgetting to edit it out)
How could they (and why would they?) implement it?
How:
1) MLU, feed from the sensor
2) a seperate 0,21 Mpix sensor in the prism housing
1) is unlikely with the sensor, and would make AF tough to do as well. 2)
might be feasible. Would it make the viewfinder dimmer?
Why:
To make both digicam and macro users happy. It seems no live preview is a
showstopper for lots of digicam/prosumer users. If Pentax is smart, it
doesn't argue the point, but delivers what potential customers want. As
for macro: weren't you the one lying in the mud to photograph birds? A
preview on a flip-screen might make life easier for you :o)
