    Open your minds "no live view" snobs! Come on...if you are truly interested in photography as opposed to just snap shots, live view can be a great creative tool allowing you to get INTERESTING shots with angles other than what you can do with the camera plastered to your face.


    Time to modernize, luddites. :)


    Not just over the head shots as someone mentioned, but waist high or even floor shots looking up. The most interesting shots (imo) are ones that show a perspective that we don't see every day with our eyes.

    @kbedwards: Keep the target user in mind. This is the entry-level model. Give an entry-level user an LCD, and they will use it instead of the viewfinder.


    Good design anticipates how the product will be used and takes it into account.

    dSLRs should, at this point, have upward-flipping LCDs, like medium format cameras. Oly already has a live view and it would be a nice addition. At this point, it's just a matter of adjusting the form factor to more than just a traditional looking 35mm SLR.

    @OMG! Ponies!: I think live view would only be nice for tripod shots or something similiar. You said before holding your camera a foot in front of your face adds tons of camera shake. The flip up LCD I can agree with you on that one. They would both be a nice addition, but gripping that lens and looking through the viewfinder is still gonna be the proper method for taking great shots.

    @davidguyon: Absolutely.


    Looking at a 3" LCD (possibly in bright sunlight) from a foot away isn't how anyone should be setting up photos.

    How come more DSLRs don't have articulated screens? It seems that they would really help a professional in many situations.

    @Life Is Eat And Die: Live view is a recent addition in the world of DSLRs anyway, let alone a swivel screen. I don't really care for either.

    @@prixdc: Live view is why there should be a flip-up screen.


    Holding a camera 1 foot in front of your face is terrible for shooting because it is so hard to steady the camera. It's a little easier to steady the camera when it's at waist height.

    @OMG! Ponies!: It's even easier to steady the camera by holding it up to your face and looking through the viewfinder like God intended. Live view is an abomination!

    @WB: Give a person Liveview, and they will hold the camera a foot in front of their face. I'm just saying that if people are going to ask for it, it should be put in in a way that encourages decent photo technique.


    I don't even use the Liveview on my camera and would gladly trade it for a dedicated exposure dial.

    It looks fine, but Mike McCarey (Mike's Amazing Cakes) in Redmond (the guy who won nearly every competition on Food Network before they stopped inviting him) could make the cake look so realistic you would pick it up thinking you could shoot a photo with it. That said, the important element in a cake is how it tastes, and I suspect the Ace cake might beat him on taste.
