TEN YEARS late. The Panasonic G1 was launched in 2007. Nikon and Canon

others do the ground-work.

Sony released the F707 in April 2000. That was a mirrorless through
the lense view camera.

all non-slr digital cameras are mirrorless through the lens cameras.

none of them are view cameras, although there are scanning backs
available.

See that funny thing at the top-left of the back of the camera? It's
an eye-piece.

so what?

Not "all non-slr digital cameras are mirrorless through the lens
cameras". Many (most?) of them have made use of rear view screens,
but the Sony F707 (and befoe that the F505) make use of an eye piece
using an electronic view via the lens. This was well before the
Panasonic G1.
