why dont dslr cameras take photographs using the lcd monitor like compact digital cameras?

satejalur

I just bought a nikon d60 slr after operating a canon powershot. one of the drawback i find is that the lcd scree cannot be used as a viewfinder. Any particular reason??

Answer
The optical viewfinder offers a better optical quality, important for critical focus and depth of field adjustments.

Also holding the camera to the eye helps brace the camera to help minimise camera shake.
