EETimes coverage of SID's "fourth annual microdisplay roundtable" techweb.com Colorado's Willner, who has not been a booster of LCOS viewfinders in cameras, cited "a real pushback because of the collaboration issue." With direct-view displays, viewfinder images "can be shared with a group," something impossible with a tiny microdisplay. Also, he noted that "user-control issues" - such as proper placement and operation of buttons for adjusting a display that's held to the eye-have yet to be solved. His concern about sharing might apply more to cameras than to camcorders, since the latter will probably have both types of display. It also assumes that demand will be based more on the instant aspect than on the digital aspect. I doubt that will be the case. The main function of the viewfinder will still be framing the shot. For that function, using a 'shareable' LCD on the back of the camera is more awkward than using a microdisplay. If the LCOS viewfinder is thought of as a substitute for the conventional viewfinder, user-control should not be a problem. My interpretation: Colorado MicroDisplay has no takers in the camera market. WT
