Default Bit of a con, really ... ?

Well, on some newer models you have a feature called "Live View",
where you can use the LCD to focus, etc, but no serious photographer
would use that in preference to the traditional viewfinder.


As I pointed out earlier, the LCD is a great way to fine-tune the color
balance in real time.


Why bother?

That's all doable post the event in photoshop.

What you DO need is a histogram display to show you haven't saturated
any of the channels. That you cant 'shop out.

I shoot entirely without more than a quick color temp adjustment, and
often not that.

If I want a crisper image for a product shot, I can do all that in software.
