RE: Dslr Live Focus?

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)

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.

Ok, maybe I have been retired too long but what is "live focus"?  If you mean continuous focus, my Nikon D70 has it in single shot mode.  But maybe you mean something else.
