Miserere (please un(duck for cover)). You see, they have already
indicated that the viewfinder will have approx 0.5 magnification. It
means that it may be very difficult to confirm manual focus for glass
wearers such as myself. In fact, from my brief encounter with Sony
A55, I would imagine that for manual focus one would have to use EVF
that most likely is going to have a magnification function of some
kind to actually facilitate precision focusing manually.

I expect that there will be something like the green hexagon in the
Pentax K20D, maybe projected onto the selected focus point location in
the viewfinder. That's how they're doing the bright line frames.
