Perhaps I am not being quite accurate in calling it a "viewfinder". I
accept that the higher end cameras have a proper optical viewfinder operating on the SLR mirror / prism system, but the LCD panel also serves as a supplementary viewfinder, as well as a display medium for photos already taken. Several DSLRs have live LCD viewing, which could be considered a viewfinder, as it serves the same function. I recently purchased such a camera (though not for that reason). I haven't checked skin tones, but the color rendition is not obviously "off". Perhaps I'll drag out my Macbeth color checker and compare under noon daylight -- the next time we have any in Seattle. One of the best uses for the LCD panel is to confirm the camera's color-temperature setting. It's particularly useful when fine-tuning the green-magenta axis under fluorescent light. As I write this, I'm watching CNN on my cheap-but-good 32" Vizio. Most are perhaps slightly "warmer" than they should be. Not having the original flesh for comparison, I can't know for sure. |
