I guess there's no reason why you can't have a DSLR with an inter-line
sensor providing a live view to the LCD. Noise performance would
presumably be somewhat worse than a conventional full frame sensor and I
think autofocus speed might suffer but Sony's DSC-R1 does pretty well in
the noise department. A live RGB histogram would be worth some
trade-offs to a lot of people.
ps: "full frame" in the sense used here does not describe the size of
the sensor. See Kodak's page here for data on inter-line and full
frame. As I understand it, an inter-line sensor has some circuitry on
its surface that takes up real estate that is otherwise usable as photo
diode space in a full frame sensor. Smaller photo diode, more noise.
