Looking at what's coming available soon I'm thinking about saving up for either one of the new 8mp digicams or possibly the Nikon D70.
If I'm reading things right there is one thing about the DSLR's that is freaking me out to the point I can't see buying one. Are the LCD screens not usable for preview and framing/composition? I've read a few things lately that seem to imply this. If they are only for viewing what you have just taken a picture of, in my book that's more or less worthless. Some of my better shots with my little D-40 have been at odd angles at nearly arms length using the LCD for framing in situations I'd never be able to get my head near a more traditional viewfinder. Even a viewfinder magnifier like I've seen with some housings doesn't seem like it would help nearly as much as a LCD preview.
Just curious if I'm reading things correctly.
