The Olympus Live View works fine, in my opinion. It just takes one button to access it and it does have auto focus. I haven't tried any of the new Sonys yet. But their Live View AF system is supposed to be the best right now. Personally, I still only use Live View for the studio. So auto focus isn't a big deal for me. I mostly use my EOS 40D in the studio and manual focus everything. But I understand your dad will be using the Live View and good AF will probably be important to him. So that might give the nod to Sony.
