I think this has had a neggative effect in my photo work, since i don't
worry about getting "every pic right the first time" in the digital
camera, I've gotten many shots that would have been better if i'd done
them more carefully, using the LCD display is also dicieveing. but it's
amatter of getting used to it :)
