Live focus is when the preview image
appears on the LCD BEFORE you shoot like a little video. It’s the way little point’n’shoots
and cellphone cams work. You don’t have to look through the viewfinder;
you can compose on the LCD. It’s done by using a semi-reflective
mirror and directing light that passes through the mirror to a tiny video sensor.
It’s great for shots where you’re holding the camera at ground
level or over your head in a crowd. I’d guess you could live without it
in most other circumstances. I think the Nikon D200 has it and the Fuji S5Pro (I’m
currently testing the S5Pro and that’s how I know. GREAT camera BTW) herschel From: owner- Don what they mean by live focus is that
you can see the actual picture at time of exposure like if you were previewing
it on a TV screen like they do with video camera at football game etc.. I am
content to with the fraction of a second when the mirror flips up and the image
hidden. I would not pay more this feature but dust removal from the sensor is a
worthwhile feature. In a message dated 12/11/2007 2:54:21
