Possibly.

But seriously, it does depend. It's pretty useful for video and a few other instances. Personally I prefer EVF.

Of course it is.

Before digital cameras with live view it was impossible to take a photo.

it's not strictly necessary for stills, but it's very useful for shooting at weird angles

Totally not needed for still cameras, as they do not need video either. If I want to shoot video, I will buy a camera thatdoes that.

Depends on the setup. I need it for manual focus because the viewfinder on the d3300 is so god damn dark.

I find it useful in two cases 1) taking photos of thing high up or low down or at an awkward angle and 2) when you want a stranger to take a photo of you. PEople are just used to liveview style viewfinders nowadays.

Go to the settings and use the green dot focus confirmation. I only use the live view to quickly check the exposure on non CPU lenses.

live view is fnatastic for shooting from different angles, good luck getting your eye to the viewfinder on the floor or 2 feet above your head.

you can't find camera without LV now, so it's not really an important question, is it?

i use LV when i have problems with fine focusing on far away landscapes or on the night photos. AF won't always catch the bright star right (to focus for astro), LV and my eye focusing it manually surely will.

If you don't use a prehistoric Single Lens """Reflex""", live view is nice, especially indoor, or when you use fancy positions
