i agree with you, your not old school, should look through viewfinder rather than lcd :thumbsup:
You pay for such good optical glass, the effect will not be the same viewed thru LCD. :nono: Reward your eyes by looking at something better

Very well put :thumbsup:
The E-330 offers both the viewfinder and the LCD, so anyone can use it whether old school or not.
If you really need ti have live lcd view, just attach a Zigview to your DSLR viewfinder. PQ23 is seling one in B&S and is having a MO for the new version. I had tried one but still prefer opitical viewfinder.

ya true. but a live LCD preview will be much better and easier for taking shots at weird angles and when using a tripod.
My 2cents, if the Live Preview adopted by the Oly E330 and Panasonic LC1 becomes a useful tool, like the VR,IS or Mega OIS for lens, I don't see why not viewing thru viewfinder will be useful anymore. A camera is just a tool, mind you. It's the person behind it.
In the end, using a viewfinder or LCD is only for framing the picture rite? The end result still is determined on a PC. For the LCD brightness in Daylight or sucking the batt juice quicker, it's a matter of time they will improve. This is the life cycle of electronics.
It will be a matter of time video and photography will merge using a single tool. They (the macnufacturers) will figure it out. PnS camera market is getting saturated, with now most makers won't go for the megapixel race anymore, as an example.
Do remember, Digital Cameras has only reached the masses less than 5 years only and how far have the innovation has gone since.

thanks. nice to see pple sharing same thoughts as me. agreed that LCD or not, it's just a means to the result. it's just the preferences of individuals. but for me LCD to take photo just doesnt work out. maybe cos i started learning photography with SLR, so now ask me take photo with those PnS cameras i also feel weird handling them. lol.

I certainly prefer the viewfinder, though a LCD has its advantages. The only big problem is that its pretty difficult nowadays to get someone else to use my D50 to take a shot of me with my family, casue the first thing they do is, "why LCD blank? no preview? must use viewfinder? aiyah very difficult leh?" ...;p
I have no problem using either LCD or viewfinder to compose the shot, as i firmly believe the camera is but a tool.
the live view offers "easier" ways to shoot difficult angles unlike the conventional viewfinder.
definitely hell lot easier to shoot macro with it. instead of trial and error with conventional viewfinder using up to 30 mins to get a good shot, you just have to spend less than a minute to compose and shoot.
just imagine inches above the floor, waist level or above the head shoot can easily be done with it.
the below sample was hung at my kitchen door. i just need to compose and shoot. mind you that it is not even stationary (it is something like a decoration piece or a wind chime)
conclusion about this is....... just an additional tool to make your life easier. i still use viewfinder 95% of the time(BTW i am using an e-330).

well.. i guess that its really personal preference.. for me i will still go for viewfinder:bsmilie:

It is not a matter of composing the picture when you look thru the viewfinder, nor do I agree it is a matter of preference. Perhaps at the moment, until the LCD technology becomes as accurate as what you see thru the lens.
When viewing thru the viewfinder a photog also look at the lighting, shades, contrast, colors and fine details of the surrounding accurately so that he can adjust the exposure etc and create the effects of what he wants accurately. Hence it is important to view thru the lens.
For the LCD it has to be accurate in its contrast adjustment, brigtness/color adjustment etc. to achieve the accuracy demanded by the discerning photog. For a consumer cam this may not be important, as consumers, generally, are happy and satisfied with snap shots but not the serious photog. Having said that a LCD hybrid like the olympus is of course a bonus especially in getting difficult angle shots.
