Most live view applications in DSLRs require the shutter to be open to show the image then for it to close then take the shot the re open.
Sony on the other hand, incorporated an additional sensor to cater for the live view and hey also changed the viewfinder prism. What they were able to do was have live view and take a shot without the need for the shutter to close then take the photo, saving time and being able to take an instant shot like a compact.
So there probably is another sensor but not the type i was originally implying. Especially considering sony and nikon share technologies
