| Re: 1st DSLR for insects.
Don't worry about viewing screens with DSLR cameras, except to check results.
When I switched to digital with a secondhand Canon Powershot G2 (£700 new then!) I had to use a screen for macro photography and only auto focus as the manual options were totally hopeless. I got some reasonable images but a lot were incorrectly focused.
But since getting a 'proper' DSLR manual focus through the viewfinder, which means through the lens, is so easy and accurate that I just can't see any point in attempting to focus with the screen.
Even in review mode, the screen view is distinctly soft edged so I have to be careful to avoid deleting good shots. |
