My much loved Minolta A2 (~2003 vintage) works like that. My original one 
died and I bought another second hand. It;s the next best thing to a DSLR 
BUT a DSLR which also has this feature would be even better. And they will 
be here "soon". I also have 2 x DSLR with APSC (half frame) sensors. The 
DSLR's are about 9 x better (by measurement) noise and sensitivity wise than 
the 7Hi and this corresponds more or less to sensor and pixel size ratios.

Yes.
And you will not see mirror shake in the photos either hand held or on a 
decent tripod.
