RED + Optical Viewfinder?

Hi,

one of my 1st posts on the board.

I was recently talking to a friend of mine who is a camera man for the BBC here in N Ireland and he told me that the RED camera will not come with an optical viewfinder. Is this true and forgive my ignorance here as I am just starting to learn all aspects of HD, but will this not be a draw back? Is monitoring being utilised through the camera's LCD?

Thanks in advance.

I've done some AC work with film camera's and never had any problems with shutters. Although they are rented and regularly maintenanced by the renter, but keeping a shutter clean isn't anything more complicated than keeping your dslr's sensor clean. When does that dust get into shutter, changing the lens in sandstorm? ;-)
At least there's no magazine change, where dust could get through the gate to the shutter...
 
Im not so worried about dust as i am with the prism light loss.. not acceptable. The RED ONE will have great sensitivity, but still, the less loss the better.

HD is so much easier to work with on a bigger display anyways, as long as that display is hi-def.
