Can you tell if an image is truly in focus with the new 3.0-inch Clear View LCD (920,000 dots) monitor on the 50D camera, or do you still have to check on a computer monitor screen? I haven't had a chance to hold one yet.
Thanks in advance.

PerryGe Batteries? We don't need no... . . . or cards.  More info | Nov 23, 2008 14:28 | #2 I tried a 50D the other day, and the screen is really, really good - it's much better for checking focus than any other Canon screen I've seen; miles better than my 5D. Perry | www.perryge.com

No, even with that LCD, if the image is taken from the preview jpg as it was in all other cameras, then the increased resolution is absolutely meaningless. I don't hate macs or OSX, I hate people and statements that portray them as better than anything else. Macs are A solution, not THE solution. Get a good desktop i7 with Windows 7 and come tell me that sucks for photo or video editing.

By continually writing and rewriting jpeg thumbnails? not at all, OP's question was checking focus, which means checking the picture after it is taken for proper focus. Live View is a different scheme all together. I don't hate macs or OSX, I hate people and statements that portray them as better than anything else. Macs are A solution, not THE solution.
