Do you think Canon and/or Nikon will ever put the liveview function on their DSLR cameras?
Do you even care?

I'm not that fussed, I quite like the viewfinder.

I very much hope they will - in time for my next upgrade!

For ordinary shooting, the viewfinder is fine, but I don't care for lying in the dirt to get interesting angles - with a flip out screen you don't have to.

Over the top of other people, turned around for self portraits, etc - flip screens certainly come in handy at times and I miss it a lot.

Personally, I prefer a viewfinder. I always get thrown when someone asks me to take a photo with their P&S, and I raise the viewfinder to my eye only to find the viewfinder doesn't work - or doesn't exist.

heh. I did that the last time I picked up my cameraphone. I was looking for a viewfinder-like object on it for some reason, and the closest I could find was the lens. So I spent a good deal of time looking through the wrong end of the camera before I realised what was wrong.

Yes, I'm simple.

I hate live-view screens. The quality sucks, it tracks the scene half a second behind half the time (so not really live view) - in general doesn't let you see the scene the way you need to see it, etc.

Garbage in my opinion.
