Canon has introduced a new website to introduce the features of dSLRs. It is intended for people new to dSLR but I found the site comprehensive with images to see what they are describing. It was quick, informative, and comprehensive. Even old hat at photography maybe reminded of good basics that they forgot. Definitly worth checking out.

Fun site in the simplest of terms...thanx for the link.
ED: A lot of peeps (no matter what camera) should view the Composing Through the Viewfinder lesson...

Thankyou for the link. I have been wondering what I have been missing by starting photography with a Canon S50. From what is described it doesn't seem far-fetched for a dSLR to be able to offer a lens view through the LCD while composing the shot. (I understand why film can't display an LCD view but I don't understand why a sensor couldn't be built to for continual LCD display.)
For me, I really like using the big LCD display to take pictures. It seems that switching to a view finder would be a step 'backward'.
Am I missing something important about the capabilities of a dSLR view finder? Or can I expect dSLR makers to produce cameras which can compose photos with either the view finder or an LCD screen in the future?

Check out the Olympus E10/E20

| Interesting. It looks like the manufacturers felt that an optical view finder was a good idea in 2001. |

Whoops I did a dumb one and hit the Report Post button and sent my original Quote out into the ether...MK was kind enough to send it back to me.
Anyways:
(d)SLRs use the mirror for a what you see is what you get. LCDs are electronic redrawn images of what the camera sees at any given time. Electronics are fast but not that fast.
Any time something has to redraw an image lag is introduced. This is not a problem when taking set up shots as we have all the time in the world. But you will notice that little herky jerky thing as looking at the VF and you move around and it AFs.
Look through at the display at an airshow (planes flying by), racetrack (cars zipping by) or even a bird flying by and try to pop off 8fps. Even with Continuous AF off as I had on my PowerShot Pro1 (I loved my S50 BTW) it still had to write the shot to the buffer and then prepare the next shot. Lag...one will miss shots when what they see is not necessarily what they get.
Even the view finder on the PS Pro1 was digital s/a LCD the black pause between shots is really evident when you see it on the EVF.
