Does anyone here use Live View on their EOS cameras? (non astronomy use)

My son is starting to use the 600D quite a bit,and tried using today,but it went into 'la la' land,when he was about to shoot.I have never really used live view for regular use,all I know is,it uses a fair bit of battery power,and obviously there is a camera default that switches off after a certain time,this could be lengthened ?

Also,I heard it may introduce more noise?,I can see its good for glam shoots when camera connected to computer in a studio.But not sure if live view is something used for 'out'n'about use.

If anyone has any links or thoughts on live view,I can pass on to him.

Thanks Chris
