well, in my opinion, the fact that the lcd on dslr does not have a live view, unlike digicams, if quite far from being intuitive and obvious. making anologies is at the very heart of human nature, and the analogy digicam lcd-> dslr lcd should seem quite straightforward. besides, even looking through the online reviews, this is far from apparent. so the guy is buying an mid-level dslr, so he hasn't handled one before... so what?
