For landscape the non real time display but slight delay should work out just fine. I wish more things in life gave you a slight delay. I tent to use swear words at the wrong times. I often don't look though my camera but shoot literally from the hip and watch as the image appears at the back of the camera and then make adjustments. To me instant replay does fine against a real time option. I set my camera on Live View a couple of times it did not work out for me. The last time it drained a full battery in 10 minutes reducing my D700 to a paperweight for me to carry though central park at night on the way home from a movie. I missed lots of shots. I had my 28 1.4 on the camera.
