Camera Digital Disadvantage
For a generation that has been raised in front of a television or computer screen, it may seem reasonable and normal to use those little LCD screens, on the back of digital cameras, as view finders. Indeed, many of the smaller digital cameras no longer provide a conventional, "optical" view finder (you know, the kind that you must place up against your eye when in use). But there are many reasons why the use of LCD screens as view finders results in fewer good images than are otherwise possible; here are just seven of those.
They're hard to read in bright light
Most of us have learned a basic general rule about keeping the sun to your back when making photographs. With the sun coming over your shoulder, it can't help but strike the LCD screen, thus washing out detail so much that you're only guessing at what you'll see in the final photo.
You can't focus your attention on what you should
With the camera held out at arm's length, so that your eye can focus on the LCD screen, your peripheral vision will encompass a great deal more than what's in the intended image. That distraction results in less-than-optimal composition; you certainly can't really make out your subject's facial expressions on that tiny screen, two feet away from your eyes.
