A digicam display is a curse when photographing in the developing world.
For example, you are photographing in a market in Bhutan.  Someone behind
you sees the LCD, and shouts to your subject, who comes over to take a look.
Every shot you take now has to be reviewed by all present.  In India,
several people at a time would roughly grab the digicam to get a look.  All
the while, I would be snapping away with my M6, ignored by everyone!  ;-)
