Pogue on the Sony Alpha A300 DSLR

Interesting new digital SLR from Sony: it gives you a live preview on the screen, so you can compose shots without using the eyepiece. The trick is that it uses two sensors: one to record the actual photo, and a second one to provide the preview image. (Other DSLRs have “live preview”, but not with autofocus.)
