Please, I ask only this. Spare me 30 minutes of your time and look at the clips below that I did (three years ago) in their order.[/quote]
Thanks for sharing the photos. They are very nice.
Live view focusing is NOT a must for landscape photographers. Otherwise, how did photographers survive in the pre-live-view era? (Having said that, I should point out Ansel Adams used a loupe to magnify the image in the optical viewfinder for critical focusing.) And there are only particular instances when focusing becomes very critical, such as the shot I used for illustration. But once we start to use live view to check focusing, it becomes an addiction 'cos it's really really convenient. <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

Let me reiterate: RAW shooters (and I believe all landscape photographers work with RAW) can easily work around the poor live-view implementation in D800. It's not the end of the world. <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />
