Re: Cannon 20D or 30D & New Cannon 1d2N and 1Ds2 dates ?

Where the larger LCD screen comes into its own is not as an aid to focusing or framing but as a means of checking exposure details and allowing the opportunity to retake the shot and avoid missed opportunities. Nothing worse than getting home and finding burnt out highlights and lost detail that cannot be retrieved with software.

The highlight alert and histogram in the shooting information display are powerful tools and a key advantage over film and I would strongly advise anyone to make full use of them to avoid dissapointment later. As for the size of screen I would rather view this information on a 2.5" screen as opposed to 1.8".

Sure you can bracket but why take the risk.
