can the lcd screen on a canon 40d camera be used as a viewfinder?
I just bought a 30d online and was really disappointed to find that i can’t use the lcd screen as a viewfinder because i wear glasses and it’s difficult for me to use the standard viewfinder. I was thinking of possibly upgrading to the 40d if i could use the lcd screen that way. i really like canon and love my lens i got for my 30d and really don’t want to switch to another company.
thanks!
Yes it does!
The function you describe is called “Live View”.

But do not be disappointed, the camera you bought is great, here is a link to the pictures by a very talented lady using an older model of Canon D20.
