If you read the whole thread over at reduser.com you would get a slightly more accurate picture of exactly what was going on, and as someone there mentioned Single Lens Reflex just doesn't work when you do anything approaching 24/30 fps because the mechanism to turn the mirror only lasts about 300,000 times so they kinda have to redo the whole viewfinder approach. They would have to use a video feed from the sensor. Also, why would red make a 5k picture/video camera that directly competes with their own Epic camera. They will both use the same Monstro sensor.
This makes no sense. They don't need to do anything different than any DSLR with live view or video capture. No DSLR displays a video feed by actuating the reflex mirror or the mechanical shutter 24-30 times a second. The mirror goes up, locks up (same with the shutter) and the sensor captures at a framerate determined by the hardware/software, just like any camcorder. The "shutter speed" of all of these cameras in video or still mode is now handled via an electronic shutter; the mechanical shutter merely protects the glass in front of the sensor. Only when the video is done do the mirror and the shutter then unlock and come down.
Following the commercial success (and technical disappointment) of the original Wildfire -- which featured a miserly 528MHz CPU and QVGA display -- HTC has returned with the Wildfire S.
