I had a brief play with Live View on the E520 and it seemed really
responsive and quick, including the AF.

Cheers

Philippe,

You are correct.  The 510 does have Live View.  I have tried it a few times,

but have not spent enough effort on it to have confidence in doing it 
correctly.  When I get a chance, I will concentrate on it and see if I can 
offer an opinion.
