I wouldn't necessarily say the part in bold

. There are loads of great images out there taken from earlier models. Heck, I see some images from 300Ds that would give newer models a run for their money. But this is probably more to do with processing.
Yes a 14-bit sensor is a bonus but I also wouldn't say live view is a critical determining factor. I guess I am a bit biased as my 400D doesn't have live view so I don't know what I'm missing. I simply focus with a bahtinov mask which only takes a few minutes.
Each to their own
