I recently got a D7000 (my first SLR) and I was surprised to discover that live view focusing actually beats phase focusing hands down in terms of sharpness. I prefer using viewfinder but knowing that now I'll have to reconsider :(
i saw the whole video and can't remember any tips on how to hold the camera because i was so focused (no pun) on the fact that you tuck in your tshirt. so here's my tip: don't! it takes the coolness away from your afro. really. oh and i replayed so thank you for the tip. :)
tackling tip: drop the shoulder and drive upwards using your legs - it might hurt you a wee bit but that dummy's gonna know it's been hit :) keep up the good work.
Thank you for taking your time and passing down so much knowledge.. very helpful.. just got my first dslr (D3100)...but pls.. dont misguide ppl with wrong information... @ 3:14, it is very clear that u missed a "Boom!!"... Thanks again..
When you said that people shouldn't use live-view to shoot, I was like FML. I got an Olympus SP-600UZ for Christmas and what one of the problems - other than the fact that I have zoom problems, the camera freezes, modes freeze, pictures are under/overexposed even in automatic mode, etc - IT DOESN'T HAVE A VIEWFINDER ARRRGGHHH! You knocked the fro off of that manikin.
One consideration, I have pretty bad near-sightedness and cannot really see anything in the view finder. (Even with glasses) Is there a better camera, or camera category, that lets me use live view instead of the teeny tiny viewfinder screen? Thanks!
@bigmamabryan hey there I'm from Texas too...attending UT, HOOK EM' lol....anyways I recommend the canon 7d if you still havnt decided, it is a fascinating camera with a video mode with quality used to make short films as well as feature films. Hope all is well
You are one crazy guy! Question,wanting to up grade from a point and shot camera to a DSLR, Nikon, can't decided between the D3000 or the D5000. I love to take out side nature pic's and old buildings. As you can tell I am a beginer. What would you suggest.
Willing to spend $ on a good lens. Love your video's, keep them comming!
I bought a 30 year old pentax film camera from ebay, downloaded the manual, and behold, it had a clear instruction with pictures on how to hold the camera properly, exactly as done here. Should be in every DSLR manual!!!
Great vid.. I already shoot that way and when I use heavier lenses I wrap most of the camera strap around my right arm's wrist(for now, I haven't gotten around to buying a wrist strap). I rarely shoot video on my D90 and Live view only gets used for when I pull out the wireless remote and I want to be in the shot since I can use the face detection.
great tips man! i think is soo cool that we get to see tips from a pro and also thanks for taking the time to make this videos! nice tackle! but careful that dummy might strike back lol
It makes me cringe when I see people holding DSLRs at the sides and not holding the lens. A little part of me dies inside when I see that. I prefer using the viewfinder to live view. Using the view finder just feels right, if that makes any sense.
BOOM, lol i had to laugh the whole video, coulnd't listen to anything. i think i'll watch it again. one of your best videos so far! thanks a lot, you made my day!
I see folk at air shows with there super telephotos usually 500mm and 600mm and they have them just free hanging from there neckstrap with no support on the body and lens! im waiting to see a few of them snap of from the body this year.
@milieugraye Which ever eye is your dominant eye usually is the eye you use to look through the camera. For me It is my left eye so I use that when looking into the camera.

@Zephear it's okay what you're doing.
i got suggestion. when you have lots of free time, go out in the nature, even if you live in a big city, just go out and shoot
but shoot on manual.. i mean, everything, focusing, shutter, aperture, ISO
trough you viewfinder, not live view. just like the old days
do this for some time, you'll see what the point of photography really is
to feel the camera, to know what picture is going to be without live view or auto modes.

You forgot BOOM!!! #1.5
If you are taking pictures or going to of subjects far away and are moving...
Place your left arm in front of you in a right angle and put the lens on that.
Of course, its for telephoto lens and the camera must be on autofocus but it really helps.
Now for questions.
How do you feel about the Eagles and the Niners? (From the bay) If you're into football that is.

You can still use live view for landscapes. Setup your camera on a tripod, puil out your macbook pro, then slowly get what you want. =]

LOL :D the intro was too good.
Yeah People do the same thing when i hand them my DSLR, and I m like, how the heck you 'll handle the lens when you are grabbing the body.
Live View on DSLR is basically useful for Longer exposures when you can see the effects of different Aperture and shutter speed on screen.
But for handheld Live View is a douche move to show off.
ROFL the last one was EPIC :D :D
