Live View

It's nice to have the option that's for sure. On the fly it takes more fiddling so it may be less spontaneous than without it. But for many applications when you do have an extra few seconds, it's great.

On the fly it takes more fiddling on a Canon, but not so on the Alpha. Of course if you make more adjustments on the camera, you have less to do in postprocessing at least in colour correction and exposure tweaking.

I use it once in a while, it also uses a lot more battery power, so if you plan on using it may be a good idea to have a backup battery. I have it set up so when I want it I just have to click one button and its up and live.

Yes, I have 2 batteries for each camera and often shoot with more than one camera.

I like live view as well..... it's one of the things I kinda miss from my p&s days...

my d60 doesn't have it....

I find that live view is particularly good for shooting from the waist or from above the crowd, so-to-speak.

Live view is great - some of the time...
