So many people think you're supposed to use a digital the same way you use a
camcorder, with the monitor turned on. A friend of mine HATED his digital
camera (a Fuji) because when he took low light pictures in his house, the
lcd monitor was dark. Duh, don't USE the monitor, put it on a tripod, use
the rf. Then use the monitor to preview what you got. An lcd monitor can't
show a time exposure in real time.
