[QUOTE="MileHighAko, post: 15342, member: 3486"] I dunno, I haven't had battery issues with my D7000, although I've read some reports of people that have. I don't use live view a lot, but when doing macro or even landscape I will use it, also real estate photos inside I use live view. I can't say I've ever had the live view take my battery down all that much. So far, from a battery perspective, my results are extraordinary compared to my other bodies. I routinely shoot over 1000 actuations and still have 25% battery left, with some of that being live view, video, and plenty of review in the viewfinder. As far as live view, for me the benefit is being able to zoom in on specific objects in the frame to make sure you have the detail and focus you desire. I also find live view to be handy for the horizon level. That said, I use live view less than 3% of the time, but when I do it fulfills its purpose. [/QUOTE]
