When I am taking pictures the image is not displayed on the LCD screen, I have to look through the lens.

A co-worker just bought this camera and was telling me that you have to look through the small viewfinder rather than using the LCD to take pictures. I tried messing around with it but could not figure it out. I guess I don’t see how you can spend that much money on a camera that doesn’t give you the same options that a $100 Point and Shoot Camera gives you. If it is possible, can someone tell me how?

Is there anyway i can take a picture with my nikon D3000 while viewing the image im about to take a picture of on my LCD and not little eye glass.

When i want to take the picture i like to be able to see it on the screen befor i take the picture

I just got a new Canon Rebel EOS XS and I have only been able to take pictures using the little viewer window. I want to be able to use the LCD screen to view the images before I snap the picture. I have reviewed the manual and I was not able to locate this. I appreciate the help. Thanks.

Other digital cameras use the lcd screen to “see” their objects. The nikon D100 seems to be able to only use the lcd screen to adjust settings. Is the camera capable of seeing the objects through the lcd screen?

When I try to see the picture it only shows me a small magnified portion. I want to see the whole thing!

yeah how do i take pictures using the LCD screen because all i see on the LCD screen is numbers and stuff. i dont like using the eye thingy

why SLR camera doesnt display the image on LCD screen before taking the picture ?

while normal digital camera displays the image on the LCD screen ? I thought SLR camera was better. then why doesnt it display the image ?

i travel a lot and it would be cool to not have to ask people to take the picture for us. i know the lcd tilts but i can’t figure out if it turns around all the way.
