i find myself useing the LCD nearly all the time now.. the only time i dont is if i am worried about camera shake for longer zoom shots.. holding the camera against your eye useing the viewfinder does give a more stable shooting position.. arms held out in front will make camera shake worse..

useing the LCD more to frame shots is just something i find myself doing.. its probably down to bigger and brighter LCDs..plus better battery life.. i know i never used to.. he he
