[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 170827, member: 12496"] Because it is true? Really there is no comparison - Live View is greatly slower, less able to follow tracking, etc. Viewfinder uses all the special stuff added expressly for focus and exposure metering, multiple phase shift sensors, etc. Works great, phenomenal. Live View raises the mirror, shutting all of that out. All it can do is to examine the image pixels (for contrast) to focus. Works, but it is very slow, and much less reliable. If you have ever shot movie mode, and tried moving the camera around aimed at different things, the very first thing you learn is that Auto Focus needs to be shut off. [/QUOTE]
