I want to pick up a SLR camera during the boxing day deals...

i notice that the entry level ones (Nikon D3000, Sony A230, Canon XS) don't have live preview... which to me is a downer cuz i think i will hate looking through that small peep hole.

Sony A230 with an extra 200mm lense is only $499 on FS!

now, BB is selling Sony A380 with live preview for $600. is it worth the extra $100-150?

what's your take?
