That is why you need a Live View Electronic View finder(EVF) camera. I never use the LCD screen on my cam. It is always off. True, its "ancient" in today's camera biz, but it still has an excellent lense on it, even if it is "only" 10M pix.
Sony R1, 2 lbs.
600-650 pics/battery
I use it with my glacier glasses on. Puts on orange tint on things through the glasses, but hey, can't have everything. Have found that for Landscape photography, there is no advantage for an optical viewfinder. Action on the other hand... Definetely want an optical. Then again, my R1 is ancient and I am sure the Electronic View finders are far superior today. Can't wait till the major camera makers get rid of the Stupid mirror box and lighten everyones camera up!
The future is here in the Panasonic GH1. 1 camera 2 reliable functions.
