03.06.10
I purchased a nikon D3000 and i am very disappointed that i can not take a picture while viewing the image on the LCD. Which digital SLR cameras can i take a picture of while viewing the image im about to take on the LCD instead of the little eye one.?
The “little eye hole,” as most people call it, is called a viewfinder. And the function where you can compose pictures by looking at the LCD is called live view.
There are lots of DSLRs that have live view so I can’t name them all, but if you have a specific camera that you want to know whether it has live view or not, just check its specs.
For same price range there is Canon Rebel XS, Canon XSi but if you want to sitck with Nikon , D5000 have live view function.

The feature you’re talking about is Liveview. It’s being added more and more to digital DSLRs but was rare in the past. Here’s a very recent discussion thread about the issue:
