How are you supposed to know if your 60 MP image is in critical focus on a 640x480 screen? Not possible.

How are you supposed to know if your 60mp (3meter by 2 meter?) image is critical focus by looking through a 645mm hole !
Not to mention the mechanical errors in alligning the chip with the mirror
The future of focus has to be a decent LCD screen and inteligent zooming of details
I was playing with live view in Exposure today with the little zoom boxes - now thats a way to focus - way better than my eye
Take the mirror away and lose its vibration and the requirement for retrofocal lenses that make wides so hard to construct
It is nearly possible to use the D3 with live view (although it is designed by dummies because it doesnt twist - so you might as well look through the finder - you cant use it to help you shoot over your head or off the floor)
The zoom function in the Live view of the D3 is amazing for tripod shooting (but pointless because the D3 is not a tripod camera)
I would love my sinar to have d3 quality live view on an Iphone size screen - or just decent quality live view at all for that matter
I want to drag my focus point anywhere on the image - even the D3 doesnt do that
And the real thing that cuts resolution is poor focus accuary 60mp out of focus does not resolve as much as 11mp in focus
Roll on a 21C camera hopefully at 1985 prices
