I think you could call that a live view of sorts don't you?

What downside to having liveview were you concerned with? Susanne, Could you explain the logic behind buying the α700 over the α350 because the α350 has an extra feature that you don’t plan on using?

I have it on my digital compact, but that hasn't got any optical viewfinder. :o) Sony also has liveview on the A300 and the A350. That's one of the reasons why I chose the A700. ;o) LiveView is completely unnecessary on a dslr.
