I suppose live view mode is what permit to get a preview in Entangle? Because yes, I want this. :-) I'll have a look at this model though I hoped there could be even older/cheaper models with all the basic features. In the list of gphoto, I see some cameras are not even listed like having "image capture" (nor live view). In this case, I really wonder what is even the point to use gphoto2/entangle for these. What can you do with a camera is not view through its eye and capture this image?
