Can any of you please post an image of the electronic contact points in the body where the viewfinders slot in? I am just wondering if it is capable of supporting an EVF when CMOS backs become the norm...

A Google search for images of "Phase One XF" came up with this: https://www.google.com/search?q=phase+one+xf&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=0CD8Q7AlqFQoTCKHZ7JqQ78cCFYlBiAodWi0CvA&biw=1920&bih=965&dpr=1.33#imgrc=qN5_7-aO2xDrrM%3A

Thank you, Steve and Yashima. I am no expert, but that looks like an awful lot of connectors just for metering and the display.
It seems to me that an EVF is definitely something that might come out of Phase at some point. Definitely a welcome addition to the system, especially when high MP, Full frame CMOS chips arrive.

It mostly depends on their new bus implementation and if it has enough bandwidth for high resolution, high frames per second image streaming more than the number of contacts. That being said, that's an awful lot of contacts alright, so unless they have some kind of limitation somewhere else (like main controller chip or supporting hardware) I don't see why not and that will be an amazing addition!
