1. It helps in getting creative with your shots... angle of view.

2. Help you adjust colour balance using the live view so you can see the effect on the fly. (which i think this is the best )

It seems like my place very cloudy Cant take good picture of the moon

good to have, not a must.

at least when you wanna take overhead shots or super low or weird angle, the live view will help u a lot.
or else you end up like those of us without live view, bend over backwards like doing yoga trying to get the desired shooting position.

but in 10 shots...how many shots u have ''overhead shots or super low or weird angle''? My friend asked me lol...

When you need it you might WISH you had it....you can't predict when each scenario will need a live view. It just a tool.

In a tool box you don't have to always use a hammer.... right ?

this promotion only at PC fair or at any Sony centre?

Well, to reduce your worries then just go for A300 with live view...just now I took moon pictures I had to bend my body down while using tripod just to capture the moon using the viewfinder...

Moon in Damansara@PJ

1/200, f11, iso100, 70mm...so blur and too dark thus pp-ed image...

yea...wht u said is right...but i think bending over to get a good shooting angle makes u look pro... ...ahh..juz to convince myself or wut?

aha!! that's the magic question isn't it......

well, the answer is nobody knows lor..
if u get a200, there'll be times when u wish u have live view to help u out.
but when u got it, doesn't mean u'll use it everytime.

that's why i say, it's good to have but u still can shoot without it

Its the moon shots night again! I remember we used to do this many versions of this orange thread ago....! Ah... the memories. By the way, nice shot of the moon, Ryzan76. I think yours looks the best so far today. Guys, show us more of your moon shots!

u mean using the optical view finder (OVF)?

dude where your 70-200 f2.8 moon shots?

Sigh can't really get good shot from SAL1870, at least 55200 lol'z...

u wont regret getting the liveview....best wooo....

I dont noe if it helps but i do owned A300. I'm having a blast with the live view mode. Its like having an ordinary camera but a powerful one.
From previous post, i agree with it, u can be creative with A300. U dont really need to bend down. Feels like a real photographer shooting a model If your budget is within that range by all means go for it. Bsides if ur noob like me, by using the live view, u can search for the good angle before snapping a shoot, in which save a lot of memories n batt consumption (i think)

My Sigma 70-200 not on call today because owner lazy! By the way, there is ANOTHER Sigma 70-200 Sony version here in Kota Kinabalu already!

poison... SAL500....

Well, yes...A200 only got viewfinder to take photos...depends la, actually I don't really need to bend just now because using 1/200 shutter speed and bare handheld shall be enough. Just grab A300 for your peace of mind
