For people who are interested in the camera. Check out my quick comments. Marauderz Stuff!! - Marauderz Finally Got A DSLR Camera For people who just want to see how the Live View works.. Sony A350 Live View Demo - MSN Video
yeah, he chickened out on me. He's the one that's been using cameras for so long. Including having a comparable Live View D300.
D300 has two live view modes. One that uses the phase focusing system that's super fast but LCD blacks out for a moment (mirror flipping down) and the mirror always up and using the slower contrast focusing, but contrast focusing has a nice feature that allows you to zoom in closer to see the focusing as well. pretty cool. much like my old Fuji S7000's manual focusing. Another nice thing i found in D300's Live view is that it immediately shows the White Balancing result. pretty cool. And with the VGA screen, liveview actually is quite comfortable to use. But then again, I hardly use it.
I just read A350's implementation. It's very different, and superior to D300's implementation IMO, because it uses a different image sensor for the liveview.
yes, Live View is cool in the sense that you see all the modficiations that might happen to your image, white balance.. slow shutter speeds.. exposure increase.. iso settings..
i tried the D300've liveview AFing, i think it's slower than the S7000 la (yes, i have S7000 too! ) anyway, Marauderz get A350 meh?!?!?! I thought sure get A700 / A900 already.
I tried D300 Liveview, it isn't too bad, but why use Liveview when the OVF is far superior. I have to try A350 before commenting.
eh, I don't plan to go pro or anything lar. I just need the performance of an SLR in order to take pictures of my kid lar. The fact that the A350's auto mode and Live View capability makes it simple enough for my wife to use is added plus!
Sometimes you want to shoot something but you just can't use the OVF. That's where LiveView comes in handy.
