well, whatever people may say, especially those arrogant nikonist/canonist, a Live View with swivel screen IS useful when you want to shoot in awkward positions; not like the silly, fixed, no-use screen of D300 and 40D (who is going to use it if not a beginner coming from point and shoot cameras?). AND, the Sony Live View system keeps the Autofocus operating at the same time you use the LV. The mirror remains in fact down (for Canon and Nikon the mirror is lifted when one uses the LV.. )... I believe that this is a very good system, certainly very appealing for those new DSLR users coming from compact cameras, but also very useful to more advanced amateur since it is a LV system with features which make it really usable.... Nikon and Canon will need to come up with something better than they did so far.... MINOLTA lives on...
