Sony Electronics has finally gone on record about the future of the Alpha family lineup and fans of translucent mirror technology will be happy. From here on, all future Alpha cameras (APS-C and Fulflrame) will use translucent mirror technology which allows for an optimized shutter speed (10 frames per second) and video recording with autofocus. This means that the Sony flagship A700, A800 and A900 series will be losing out their current OVF for the new EVF technology which gives you 100% frame coverage, offers better low light conditions, and on-screen information.

 “In our range Alpha the future is to replace the mechanical electronics.” 

What do you think? Are you a fan of Sony’s translucent mirror technology? Let us know in the comments.
