Instead of looking through the viewfinder, he was holding up the camera and looking at the preview screen. I guess the world is full of morons. Who knows why he was doing that, but unless you saw his images it'd be tough to call him a moron. I've seen this both with DSLR and non DSLR's that have an optical finder. I wouldn't classify such people as morons, to each his own. I was using my G10 optical viewfinder for taking photo's of bands. as I find it less distracting than viewing the LCD in low light. But prefer the LCD for videos. For manual focusing the LCD is clearly superior in many situations. I have a medium sized mirror telescope and while in Yellowstone this past summer, I used it to photograph some mountain goats on a very distant hillside. Focusing the scope with a traditional reflex finder would have been impossible in such a low-contrast situation, even with a magnifying angle finder - I know this because I have tried under similar situations. The EOS M's LCD viewscreen with its magnification function was perfectly suited for the task, though. Effective focal length was just under three meters. |
