   I have the XTi and it does not have a live view function.

   I did not miss that feature however as when I attach some of my lenses on the camera, it will be somewhat heavy and it’s easier to use the viewfinder instead and use my face to reduce vibration.

   No professional photographer I know of (and I am a working professional) would want to use the so called live view feature except for close-up photography using a tripod, and even under those conditions, using the LCD monitor to view is not any kind of a necessity.
   In bright light it is almost impossible to see an image on an LCD monitor. If you will be doing primarily close-up indoor photography using a tripod, you might like the live view feature. Otherwise don’t let it be a factor when selecting your camera. It is one of those relatively useless features that make for good advertising and a higher price, but really don’t add much to the camera’s flexibilities. And just a word to the wise… never buy a digital camera (even a simple point and shoot) that does not have some kind of a peep sight. Without a peep sight, you won’t see most pictures you will take until after you have taken them.

   No, it can’t take a picture from the LCD.

   And yes, it has forced flash.
