>>231676 That's what this is going to be. I'm really looking forward to it; I love EVFs.
Every EVF camera I've shot with has the focusing patch start off in the center when you boot up, but you can move it around to any point on the screen. They've also got a feature- which sounded annoying, until I tried it- where the entire screen displays an even more magnified image for insanely precise focusing. It's not the thing to use for fleeting subjects (the patch is) but if you know the subject is still going to be there a second later, it's analogous to a camera with a separate rangefinder and viewfinder.
Viewfinder cameras (including rangefinders) have their advantages, too, so my ideal camera is something in the same body shape, etc. as a Leica M, a coupled rangefinder, electronically projected (and hence always accurate) framelines, and either the RF-VF is removable and an EVF can be put in its place, or the EVF just goes into a hotshoe like on some Ricoh small sensor models.
I'm actually hoping they *don't* come out with a rangefinder; I don't want the M mount to die. IMO, with the huge back catalog of great lenses, any non-SLR camera pretty much ought to be using the M mount, although I understand why the Four-Thirds consortium is using, well, the Four-Thirds mount.
>>231673 An amendment to the standard could be created, though.
