Looks to me like they have gone to a penta mirror, with one mirror
moving to give A type live view.
It looks like it should be a more light efficient design than the E-330
splitter. A penta mirror is less efficient (and lighter) than a
pentaprism, but that light loss should be less that that lost to the
beam splitter in the E-330. And with FF. there's a whole lot more light
to work with than on 4/3. Shouldn't have the problems E-330 ALV had as a
result of limited light.
