I commented on the news of a digital Canon EOS camera recently saying that I wondered when Canon would introduce a digital EOS1V RS, the thought has suddenly occured to me... Does a digital camera suffer from viewfinder blackout caused by the mirror moving into the viewfinder area in the same way as a 35mm camera ?

I currently have an older EOS RT (35mm) camera which has a pellicle mirror (no viewfinder blackout) and would be unwilling to give this feature up no matter how good the rest of the camera.

Answers

depends on your digital camera, most are P+S type with a seperate viewfinder and a very few are SLR type, and if they are, check which body they are based on.. some of the kodak/canon models are based on the eos 1n. these camera runs from 10k-25k range
