This is what I do. Saves battery power also. There is another option: after taking a photo just press the shutter button again (half way) and the display is no longer on.

This is the method that I usually take since my finger is on the button anyway. Thanks for looking!

More info | May 26, 2006 21:07 | #34 Glad your happy with it Ron, but it's funny you mentioned iso 1250 and 1000, on mine I've seen no change of shutter speed between them and ISO 800, So why shot there? Maybe it's just mine. Good luck and enjoy.

May 27, 2006 11:42 | #36 A couple of my first shots from the 30D. I'm thinking that the AF is indeed more accurate, as I seem to be getting noticeably sharper shots from the same lenses at the same settings (no it's not picture styles..I shoot RAW). Very pleased with this baby.  HOSTED PHOTO please log in to view hosted photos in full size. and a self portrait of sorts...as close as you're gonna see, anyway.

May 27, 2006 13:43 | #40 I've been waiting to upgrade my 10D to a 30D, and I think this thread pushed me over the top. I'm going to the camera store as soon as I finish this post. Anyway, I'm not familiar with the term "chimp", other than Tarzan's campanion. Can tell me exactly what you are referring to? Canon 6D & 7D. Panasonic GX85 and a number of ever changing lenses.

May 27, 2006 13:53 | #43 Yeah, I leave my lcd off. If I have to check a tricky exposure, or check the histogram, I pop it on for a second, but not otherwise, really. I don't have a habit of peeking. Only when I'm not sure. Mac users swear by their computers. PC users swear at theirs.

Although, I'm lucky that the eye control works great for me. Works great for most, but others not so much. I keep it set to 11 points and it's very reliable. I'd *sorta* like to see 11 point eye control in my next DSLR. The 45 point is just too much. I actually miss the 45 points. I had an EOS 3 and just loved it. I have the 5D and the 30D and I would love for those camera's to have the 45 point autofocus. But as long as I'm dreaming, I would love a firmware update to the 5D that would make it 8 FPS. (as long as I'm dreaming). JBF
