That's something that I find extremely disappointing. The A2 was the ONLY
camera to ever have a true VGA resolution display. It was actually very
nice.
I've gotten to really like LCD monitors, even for event photography. I don't
hold the cameras out at arms length and I'm a little bit more discreet. But
it is really nice to be able to take pictures of people while they are still
"in the moment". The moment you bring your camera to your eye, the moment is
broken. These days, with P&S cameras so common, taking people pictures in
the same manner as the "unwashed" do is actually quite disarming.
As to "landscape" and "studio" photography, give me a bright LCD monitor any
day. I love it. But I shoot "two-eyed", so it comes more naturally for me.
