Do you think that having a non-TTL viewfinder, namely the digital viewfinders that show on an LCD screen as you are taking a photo, helps one's eye as a photographer? The idea being that with a TTL viewfinder, you are still seeing the world in 3D (and usually only 95-99% of the frame at that), while using a P&S-style LCD does some of the work of composition for you by projecting the scene into a 2D frame before you ever release the shutter.
Apologies if this has been in the forums before. Had a discussion about this the other day with a friend, and a photographer (although a D70 user, can you believe we were even having a civil conversation?!). ;-)
What do folks think?

I think it's easier to compose the shot with an LCD screen. I've always thought that since I got my rebel -- but after a little practice, I've gotten somewhat used to it.

considering you look through the viewfinder with one eye only - you are really seeing in 2d - as the brain needs both eyes view to give the world depth.
a side note - thats why pigeons bob their heads, so they can quickly get an image from both eyes ( since they are on the side of their heads ) for the brain to put together so they can tell distance.

I never used the viewfinder on my Kodak or my Sony... ever. I always composed with the LCD screen. I am just now getting used to the viewfinder of the Rebel. It really is different. I still find myself occasionally looking at the LCD and wondering why nothing's showing up back there...LOL
