The size of the Pentaprism bulge looks huge and has been commented on;

“it’s the second largest viewfinder in any current full-frame dSLR; 0.74x with 100% coverage. That’s larger than the Nikon D700 and D3, Canon 1D Mk III, and Canon 5D. The only current dSLR with a larger viewfinder is the Canon 1Ds Mk III, with a 0.76x 100% viewfinder.”

Another post concerns a new Sony feature ‘Intelligent Preview’

I do not have all the details, but this is what Sony will offer in place of Live View - it is a sort of Polaroid pre-test on screen, with some more information or accuracy, compared to just shooting a pic and reviewing it on any DSLR. Also, I believe that it is viewed from the buffer and not stored on to the memory card. I have not seen any explanation on how or what this function does though, beyond knowing that it is intended to show accurate depth of field, check focus, and check exposure more accurately than reviewing a quick shot - and to do it fast without needing to take a saved test shot.
