Do you use the screen or not?

[Michael Fanelli]

I always thought the screen (LCD?) on my Olympus Stylus was there for a reason. To use it to take pictures. So basically I have ALWAYS used that. Lately people have been telling me in order to take better pictures, in most instances you should use the viewfinder, not the screen.

What is your take? is it situational? If so, under what types of scenarios do you or don't you use the LCD screen?

Thanks

With my P&S digitals, I use the LCD exclusively. The viewfinders don't cover enough for proper framing and they are physically too small. On the DSLR, its obviously the viewfinder.
