View finding for D50

[jmeng]

Hi all, I just got my D50 yesterday and I'm new to DSLR.... I used a compact digital camera before getting this. One quick question: Is all the DSLR using the viewfinder ONLY when taking photo? Can I turn ON the LCD monitor to act as the view finder like the compact digital camera?

Thanks in advance for your advise.

you cant. Because it is a Digital Single Lens Reflective Camera....Not Normal digital camera

Thanks..... This is what i think also.... because someone told me Canon DSLR can use the LCD monitor, so i try to find out more whether this is true or not. Thanks again
