My thoughts exactly!!
Seeing all of that circuitry in both of our color EVF's, I would gather that a normal, in-line type tube like the one in the panasonic sets would have been simpler to implement in the EVF. All of that extra circuitry (including several SMD chips)to guide the beam with those photocells and such, when they could have used Panasonics crt and a normal circuit!!
BTW- it is a HITACHI tube, as I removed mine (temporarilly) from the sleeve. It says "Hitachi 6289" or something like that. ( I think the whole camera may be made by them!!)
Has ANYONE else EVER seen a Crt like this, using external guidance from the SCREEN?? The Sony vidimagic uses photocells, from the REAR of the tube and a seperate, green phospor for indexing.
BUT- the unusual design DOES make for som fun "messing around"!!
