Soft LCDs on Canon Bodies

[Itheone]

The new 50D will give you razor sharp images on your LCD.

I don't understand why Canon left the images softer. Even my previous 40D had softness issues.


As much as I miss Live View and a dedicated Styles button for fast monochrome/neutral switching, I'm much too attatched to full frame to go back to 1.6x

The Lcd is using a renderd Jpg which also implements all your Picture styles settings, this way people shooting jpeg know what to expect from their images on the computer, being that they will look at exactly as they see them on LCD. When you change picture styles it changes the way the images look on your LCD. What this means is - if you set the sharpness to maximum, the images will look sharp on the LCD, if you set the sharpness to minimum the images will look absurdly blurry. ie, if your shooting raw - Crank the sharpness in your picture styles. Voila Sharp LCD, the 50d loses one of it's main advantages when you apply this to a 40d.
