Late to the party :-)
Very few people i know who have used FF cameras think the EVF of the A77 is all that. Compared to a small viewfinder on a consumer dslr it's certainly not bad. Still lag and tearing is there regardless of what some people like to claim in reviews.
Personally i see the EVF as poor result of the SLT technology, to me it's not advancement it's merely a bi-product. The arguments that the benefits overshadows the negative limitations doesn't work for me either, as i see very few benefits if any. Having all kinds of different info overlays isn't something new at all, it's been present in advanced p&s for quite sometimes, i don't need or want zillions of gauges and meters in my viewfinder.
As one who shoot with A900's and Zeiss i really think Sony will alienate them self from the very small percentage of pro shooters they once attracted with the A900 and Zeiss primes.
Time will tell if Sony put all their eggs in the SLT basket, if they do i think they will see a noticeable migration from their system.

Strives to make photos instead of taking them...
