Reply With QuoteThe 40D looks like a sweet camera. I would love to move up to the 40D someday. I really don't see any use for live view but I bet it would be good for some people.

i just now got around to playing with those today, they are awesome!
i shoot mostly in AV mode so....
i set C3 for HDRs so i can try more....it goes into AV mode with auto bracketing for +/-2.
i set C2 for macros, it goes into AV mode and automaticly kicks on live view. i havent used live veiw much since its kind of a pain to scroll through the menus to turn it on, now i dont have to.
havent figured out what to set C1 for yet....

i havent used it much yet but i really think it'll be handy for macros that i would otherwise have to get into a odd position to see through the veiwfinder.....Originally Posted by oldnavy170

A guy here at work almost exclusively shoots macro and he's wanting to move up to the 40D just for the live view.... would make it a whole lot easier for him to frame his shots.

what's the crop factor on the 40? 1.6 still? or is it 1.3 like the 1D?

Another random note about the Live View thing....
I have it on my camera... and it's one of the many reasons I chose the cam I did...
I actually do not use live view NEARLY as much as I expected I would.... but, that having been said, I think it would drive me insane NOT to have it. It's a really nice feature.

while the live view subject....i just found out about a month ago that you can zoom in with it too....like a digital zoom except it doesnt get pixelated.
one use i found for it already is for the moon....longest lens i have right now is the 135mm so i can really get any decent shots, but with the live veiw zoom i can still fill the frame with it and get much better focus.....just kinda neat, lol.

ive been using live veiw a little more since i set this up. still dont use it as much as i thought i would, but it is nice to have it.
i just reread my post above too and i should explain....the live veiw zoom is just handy to help focus.
