Can I View Images to be Photographed? Hi friends. I have Nikon D70 SLR camera. I want to know: Can I see the image on the monitor of the camera which is to be taken? That is, without using viewfinder, can I use camera monitor before taking the picture? Thanks in advance.

Hi Venkata. The D-70 is a "real" SLR - with a mirror and a physical shutter in front of the sensor (just like a film SLR). This means that the sensor is covered until the shutter opens to take the picture, so you can't use the LCD as a viewfinder like you can with the point-and-shoot cameras. If you want to take pictures without looking through the viewfinder, you have to learn how to point the camera at your subject, a lot of guesswork and practice :-)Of course, the trade-off is that the sensor of the D70 is far bigger and therefore much less noisy than the smaller fixed-lens cameras. In other words, it takes better pictures.
