Hi bros, im a newbie. Im using A500, i just want to ask what is the advantage using the viewfinder over the live view mode?
most of the time i use the live view mode for convenience esp since a500 has MF CHECK LV.
guys need your expertise.
thanks

I don't know about your DSLR system, but on a D90, using a Live View once constitutes a shutter count... So if you use it 10000 times without clicking on the shutter button, that means activating the shutter mechanism 10000 times without any images being captured.
Dun any how suka suka use a LV on a DSLR as if it works the same as on a typical Point n Shoot.
Get use to the viewfinder, and out-grow on the LV dependency you once had on a PnS.
For me, only when I want to shoot a video would I use LV (which is the only mode on D90 that allows you to capture a video - so no choice).
Sony A550 has the fastest live view of all dslrs. I hv a550, and compared to D90 (which im also using as my company's event photographer) the difference between their focusing speed is like heaven and earth. Go sony style, pick up the a550 to test and u'll notice the huge difference
And sony's live view doesnt flip up the mirror (unless using manual focus live view), so it doesnt use up shutter count.
For sony alpha, using live view's main disadvantage is battery wastage, and also under direct sunlight it might be hard to see.
On the other hand, the tiltable lcd screen live view offers ground level and over the head composition, something which no other dslr except olympus and nikon d5000 offers.

So there's another sensor to pick up the image during Liveview? hmmm... interesting. tks for that!
Live view helps in extreme angles.
