Well, is IS dated January 2010, but otherwise no clues about what the new year has brought upon us so far:   "There is no Live View (or video) in this camera but there is something Sony dubs “intelligent preview,” which to me is a viable alternative to Live View for those who use it for making sure the right exposure and white balance, etc., are set correctly. Here’s how it works: you frame the picture and then press the DOF preview button on the lower right of the camera. The sensor then grabs the frame and shows you the image with a histogram and the exposure (both aperture and shutter speed), any exposure compensation, DRO setting, and even white balance. You can then change any of those parameters (this is a Raw grab) and the processor changes the Raw instructions and actually previews the image with the changes made on the screen. You then have to make the image over again though the settings are made for you by the way you correct the image on the screen."
