|GG| What is the big deal about LiveView?

I'm new to DSLR photography, but have owned compact digital cameras over the years. I don't quite understand what the big deal is about LiveView, as this technology has been available in compacts for at least 6-7 years now, right? I just recently got a live view SLR and it's not as useful as I thought it would be. I missed it when moving up to a DSLR but haven't really embraced it's return. One case where it was sort of usable was in macros, you can frame the shot then quickly zoom in to the detail to refine focus before snapping... but for the most part having a bigger, clearer optical view to compose and frame is a lot more powerful way to visualize. In theory it would be ideal for tripod work too but in practice it's still nicer to set up with the viewfinder and you can snap a test shot and check it quicker than changing modes, etc. Really annoying to accidentally leave it in live view mode too. I would like to see a studio setup with live view ported to a laptop sized screen. -- Paul Furman www.edgehill.net www.baynatives.com all google groups messages filtered due to spam |
