Well, up till now, no-one's answered my question directly on an explanation of the "live view" feature of the 450D that incorporates both a technical and functional analogy: but tornado 33's 2nd para is what I was looking for (but had already discovered for myself before reading his post!)

The 450D does what his experience of using the SBIG ccd demonstrated- it provides a grid dividing any composition into (approx) 30 image frames that one can focus into, to attain aforementioned benefits.:thumb sup:

Methinks some other peoples' wafflings about pixels etc can sometimes betray a lack of real understanding of actual function mechanics.....:r ofl:

Cheers, Darryl.
