This is a preview and not a live view right?
Don't get caught up in semantics.
This is basically the same CCD live preview as exisiting backs have had for several years when tethered, but with some modest improvements to quality and speed, and able to be used on the LCD of the digital back without tethering. Frame rates of a "few per second" and ghosting/quirks on moving objects, and some limitations on the amount of light (hence the need for ND filters when in bright sunlight).
Not usable for hand-held, sports, portrait, fashion, or other moving shooting. Low battery life.
I'll wait until I've had more hands-on time to make conclusions, but the realistic expectation here is the use of the live view as a compositional tool on cameras without mirrors (e.g. technical/view cameras) and possibly for live-focusing in the field. For that niche it could be very important.
