Q1. Does the camera have the standard 20pin hirose connector that allows the use of a B&W viewfinder?

Q2. [Kit wizards only...] And this is compatible with the SONY DXF 801 viewfinder? [if you are a total kit wizard....]

I have a SONY vf that I might use with the camera + mini 35....if it works.

John, it does have the ability to have a B+W viewfinder, but only if you use the canon one, I don't believe a sony one will fit, but I'll double check. It would be great to use a REAL high def viewfinder on this camera.

Thanks Nick - the option for B&W is a good one, I am thinking about fitting my mini 35 with the camera - and was wondering if i would need the breakout box, or if i could go with the Canon VF.....
