I'm currently weighting up upgrading my Sony A300 to a Sony A700 while the prices are cheap but I know the main thing I would lose is Live View.
Personally the only times I ever use Live View are if I'm in the flat messing around with something or maybe if I'm out in the street shooting and I don't want it to be obvious that I'm shooting.
Aside from that I don't actually like using it as it seems to eat the battery life on the Sony and 95% of the time I just use the view finder.
The other thing is that I find the LCD very hard to see when its bright outside anyway and its also very low res.
Was just wondering what others use Live View for and maybe if anyones gone from a Live View to non-Live View camera, did it take time to adjust?
Cheers
Chris
