No doubt. It's nice to window shop sometimes even when you're not in the market.

Sony A77 is almost here... jsut a couple more months...

Here's the rumored specs
http://www.sonyalpharumors.com/sr5-first-worldwide-picture-of-the-final-a77-and-a65-production-models/

Since I own an SLT-A33, the EVF is not a disadvantage for me (compared to OVF) as I rather want to see the picture the way the sensor sees it.
Since its WYSIWYG, its easier to use... imo.

Heard abotut that from a friend as well...

You could simulate it with software though - a lot more cheaper approach. :hehe:
As long as you take photos like point-and-shoot cameras (in dlsr it would be aperture mode with f>20), you'll get mostly photos with dof to infinity.
Then, you can use most graphics software to select which part you want to leave untouched and blur everything else.
