I don't understand how you can have a live-view LCD on an RF camera when you 
have a physical shutter 
in front of the sensor. Seems to me it would have work like the Zeiss-Ikon 
Contaflexes and Retina 
Reflexes of yore: shutter is open for viewing until exposure, whereupon 
shutter closes, then opens 
and closes to expose. Which could be done with SLRs, mirrors and leaf 
shutters like the 
above-mentioned. Not sure how well that would work with a focal-plane 
shutter like the M8's.
