Sony's new A77 features a translucent mirror, which splits some of the light to the viewfinder, while letting the rest travel through to the sensor. Which raises the question; can you get something for nothing?
Ray did a test with his A55 (which also has a translucent mirror) by shooting with and without the mirror, and discovers that:
1. The mirror reduces the amount of light reaching the sensor by about 1/2 stop.
2. The mirror reduces image detail.

I have seen a lot of lousy footage online from the Sony NEX-FS100 Super 35mm "baby of F3" camcorder so far, many people "testing" who don't have a clue how to compose a shot, or a lot of tests where the operator didn't know how to tame the camera's settings.
