It presents framing more accurately, and it allows using the camera away from the eye, which I'm doing more and more now. Either to raise the camera higher (handy for architecture) or to lower it (good for people pictures). Most DSLR viewfinders are close to 100% coverage. If you want to use teh camera out of position then buy an angeled viewfinder, the LCD is useless in bright light. |

YAG-ART wrote: Its a lot more tha 2x "goodness" more like 1000x "goodness" at 10x price You're only counting the DSLR pluses. There are pluses to the prosumer cameras: 1) Greater depth of field, when needed, even at telephoto. 2) Easier to compose overhead, or near the ground. 3) Silent operation; SLRs make a lot of noise that alarms living subjects. 4) Lack of flipping mirror and moving curtains makes the cameras more suitable for hand-holding with longer shutter times. 5) Optics on the better prosumers can only be matched by moderately expensive lenses on DSLRs. -- John P Sheehy |

Sometimes higher ISOs are preferable to flash and lower ISOs, especially when the lighting is good in distribution, but low in quantity. Especially when you don't want the distraction of flash. -- John P Sheehy |

Hi JPS - did you major in Philosophy?
I'd guess so. Now, the Preview. It is an visual assemblage of data as detected, processed, rendered and displayed by the digital circuitry of the camera Aerticus wrote in message ...

Tell that to all the people who find them useful. When I started using a DSLR, and left my Sony F707 home, I often felt crippled by the fact that I could only take pictures from persectives where I could get my eye. Why can't you just say, "yes, there are advantages to live LCD preview"? Does it hurt to say that? -- John P Sheehy |
