"Use your viewfinder to avoid annoying those in the audience"
Was at a concert last week at my kid's high school, and before it
started there were the usual requests to a) turn off your cell phones, b) no flash photography, c) don't use LCDs on camcorders or cameras, use the viewfinder. As usual there were the annoying people in the audience recording the entire performance with the LCD illuminated the whole time. I wonder if the concertmaster even realized how few new P&S cameras and camcorders even have a viewfinder any more. Personally I wish they would just ban all photography and recording at these performances, and enforce it. Most of the videos and photos are exceedingly poor quality anyway because of the lighting, plus the school offers a DVD of the whole performance for just a few bucks. If you want a photo of your kid from the audience you can't get it without a D-SLR with a good quality IS lens, but you can always go up to the stage after the concert for photos. |

That's why they were the very FIRST cameras to be banned from most all public performances. You ****ingly stupid TROLL. Again you prove, without ONE doubt left, that you've never used ANY camera in your lifetime. Nor ever been near one. Tell us some more about those imaginary concerts you go to while living in your mommy's basement. Just as imaginary as your trips to Yellowstone where you helped to install a computer controlled geyser. To anyone even considering what this SMS troll claims, EVER, do read the following for fun. Read the kind of deranged imaginings that this particular DSLR-Troll likes to invent and post on the net for attention. It's worth another good laugh. http://www.wifi-forum.com/wf/showpost.php?p=448381&postcount=101 |

Can't imagine the anxiety it must cause the retarded P&S'ers when they have to figure out how to turn off the flash!!! LOL, most would have no idea how to do this. It was pretty funny to see one person in the audience with a Flip video camera attached to a big tripod crammed in front of him. At least it has no flash. Of course he ended up with a very poor quality video, but he managed to annoy everyone around him. They did allow flash photography between pieces, and most people respected that rule. It's not just the flash either, it's all the beeping and the shutter noise (both real and simulated). |

That seems to have diminished as digital photography has become mainstream and users are less excited about the quick feedback. |

I don't notice much chimping any more. That seems to have diminished as digital photography has become mainstream and users are less excited about the quick feedback. What all of you fool pretend-photographer trolls fail to realize, and that which everyone who has one already knows, is that a camera with an EVF avoids all these problems. Instant review in the viewfinder, if you set that option for how long you want it (none, to brief flash, to several seconds, or hold image-display by pushing a button). Though there's often no need for that at all, as the very same image you see in the viewfinder is what you'll get on your photo, framed 100% accurately I might add, before you even snap the shutter in the first place. Real-time histogram options overlaid in the viewfinder, you see them before you press the shutter and all the while the viewfinder is enabled, if you have the histogram feature enabled that is. AND if you want to use histograms at all. Not much need for that when the whole viewfinder is already your scene-histogram. No need to be chimping even for histogram checks. Low-light situations perfectly visible in the viewfinder for precise framing and focusing. If your EVF camera is equipped with IR modes then you can even frame and focus on the stage after all the house-lights go dark and before the curtains open. The whole camera stealthily silent too. You have to listen to your camera very carefully in a quiet location to determine if the shutter even clicked if you aren't paying attention to the view in the viewfinder. Isn't it fun to have only imaginary cameras in your pointy little trolls' pretend-photographers heads? The only trouble with that, is you don't realize that very popular REAL cameras have already supplanted all your psychotic problems for over a decade now. That's why those cameras designs are such huge sellers. |
