Totally agree. Live View photos on my 7D feels broken compared to the viewfinder: much slower AF, shutter-drop & recycle rate. & you really need a hood/3x magnifier to confirm critical focus. The only time I use photo Live View is for grabbing a still while I've still got the hood on from shooting video..
