Just wondering how many people are shooting with live
view (canon)? I find myself using it more and more on
landscapes and portraits.
You have touched on the reason that I don't use
my Canons very much. Live view is the only way
to critically focus them. I have even installed a
real focusing in the SLR finder. In use, it proved
to be only a minor improvement. I tend to work
in low light, wide open. The few times I've used
the Canons in daylight, they work very well thru
the SLR VF ... no need of LV. The daylight use is
at middle apertures so focus is not as critical :-)
So yes, I very much depend on live view with my
Canons. Which, again, is why I don't use them as
much as my full time live view cameras. Live view
built into SLRs is awkward and limited compared
to a dedicated live view camera, so why torment
myself. Thankfully Canon is addressing this issue
via the new "R" series. Thank you, Canon !
