Agreed, it is awkward. I only use eye piece, I never use the display.

eye piece 99.99999999%. I only use "live view" if I am shooting video, and that is very VERY rare on my D750.
Live view cons are slower focus. But A pro is, the mirror is up, so you get less shake from mirror slap.
The only time I ever use the LCD is when I'm doing astrophotography. I use manual focus and the zoom feature of the display to help me get sharp shots. Other than that, I use the eyepiece exclusively.
The biggest con of the LCD for me aside from it feeling awkward is that live view focus is much slower than using the eyepiece.
Dang, Guess I needa switch to the eye piece Lol! That's going to be my main goal to use next time I go out and shoot, along with the priority modes. Really appreciate all the input here guys! :cheers:Agreed, it is awkward. I only use eye piece, I never use the display.
If it's applicable, you can always invoke the pics of kids/pets/lovely significant other arguments. If all else fails, abject grovelling might work. :lol:how do you convince your wife to spend the $1000 on a camera and that it would be used for things other than taking picts of cars? ok, the majority of picts would be cars...but we would still use it other places.
i have the old point and shoot digital camera that works, but wanted something better in order to get the stunning picts in this thread! at least something better than what i have....
she is not convinced it would be used for other things....she knows my affinity for taking LOTS of picts of mustangs.....
I'd recognize that S197 anywhere.... Didn't know you picked up a new ride as well :cheers:Here's a few from recent. Haven't had a chance to do a good shoot with my s550 yet.
My camera setup is a basic white girl Canon 7D with the stock lens it comes with, a used polarizer filter, and some $35 flashes/triggers from China
Buy a factory referb and tell her you'll take photos of family/pets/plants/ her. Lololololhow do you convince your wife to spend the $1000 on a camera and that it would be used for things other than taking picts of cars? ok, the majority of picts would be cars...but we would still use it other places.

When I had my T5i I used my flip out screen and live view all the time. It was great for doing double exposures using my tripod and it was awesome for getting both low and high angles. I miss it a lot on my 5D Mark II. It's hard for me to justify going to another camera now that I have full frame unless they come out with a model with the flip out screen. The touch to focus was also nice compared to having to use the little joy stick to focus where I want, especially in low light.
I like to get a lot of angles that most people don't get so the screen is handy. Even doing manual focusing on the lens was easier for me with live view because it shows exactly what you will see when the shot is made.
