"Not for me!" However, in using Live view mode more often
myself, I'm learning to like it. I don't use it off-tripod very
often, but on-tripod it makes certain styles of shooting much
easier. I like the extreme focusing accuracy of Tripod mode
when shooting macros and general close-ups—especially
when it saves bending over a lot. Give it a try; you may like it
too!
