Argraph Offers Live View Addon for DSLRs: Zigview

Two of the biggest buzzwords at the PMA convention last week were "Live View," giving DSLR users the ability to see a shot framed up on an LCD viewscreen as well as in the camera's optical viewfinder. Now Argraph has rolled out Zigview, a 1.3-megapixel sensor that attaches to the optical viewfinder of a DSLR, essentially a camera-on-a-camera that shows you the viewfinder's image on in its LCD viewscreen.

There are a variety of models available, starting with the $249.95 SC-V100B with a 2-inch screen, up to a unit with a 2.5-inch screens, motion detecting shutter release and 360-degree rotation. Or, you could wait about a year when just about every digital SLR has live view and just get yourself a new camera.

To see how this contraption works, check out the gallery below for details.
