I was at an event yesterday, and there was somebody going around taking


pictures with a DSLR. 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.
