the result to me are very very sharp...

Cute little lens a Tessar clone, I told many times if this lens made by Nikonr or Canon this would be a $$$$ lens.

Part of the problem with Live View is that it consumes battery power extremely fast and also risks seriously overheating the chip according to several reviews I have seen

I never found those problems in a couple of years using a cameras that had that feature. I would comfortably get a full days shooting from a single battery. I also didn't notice overheating from running the lcd display for hours at a time. It is after all how all the compact digital cameras do it. Its only 'new' for DSLRs ...

nice baloma, I am happy you liked liveview and I hope you could change some hard head here Rolling Eyes Laughing

Patrick, very funny the story with the battery, you kill me Laughing
If instead of 450 shots I make only 90 shots with liveview I will buy 5 chinese batteries of 5 euros and still be happy
How can you believe this bullshit of 'seriously overheating'. I have a point & shot and it stayed some time all day on without even burning when we had 39 celsius.

Poilu - you silken tongued devil you. The reference was in luminous landscape from a long time pro, who was testing the newest DSLR's which have a completely different configuration from the P&S you refer to. Very few of the live view P&S machines have to contend with the issue of getting the mirror out of the path to enable Live View and one of the recent solutions is a second chip dedicated to the lcd - hence more battery drain and with battery drain comes ....heat. I have no personal experience of it, but if I start to disbelieve people whose abilities I respect, then I am in for a very hard time.

PS I would very much like to have live view as I did in my earliest digicam back in 2002 and the swivelling lcd too. The benefits are undeniable.

Could you link to the review you are citing, please? I'm not, by the way, saying the review doesn't exist. Just that I haven't found it yet and could you point to it, please.. The closest I saw was

Be aware though that running the camera in Live View generates heat from the sensor. On a hot day, or in a warm studio this could cause images to pick up some extra noise, especially at higher ISOs and with longer exposures.

Quote:
By the way, setting Live View to operate with the centrol Set button also gives one mirror lock up, but sensor heating with Live View might be an issue and so I don't like to use it simply as a MLU alternative.


both of which seem to refer to a small possibility of slightly increased sensor noise when the camera gets hotter for whatever reason. I also saw

which discusses live view (although oddly the reviewer can't quite imagine using manual focus; they consider only autofocus before entering live view for minor focus adjustment, and autofocus during liveview. Seemingly they never do any manual focussing Smile
