With the LCD screen I cannot tell if my distant subject is smiling or if their eyes are closed.
Then DON'T look through the camera, look over the top!
Best detailed view finder ever..
Golly! I am amazed anybody needs to be told this!!
It's often not so simple. My camera's resolving power at around 35mm is about the same as my bare eyes. So, if I'm shooting at, say, 200mm (which is extremely often for me) I can't see enough detail "over the top". Further, looking "over the top" means losing your attention on framing which usually means missing the shot.
I wouldn't consider using a 200mm lens to shoot with an LCD viewing camera. Not a suitable combination.
And I am not a sneak-shot paparazzi, either, so I wouldn't really use such a long lens to shoot human subjects even with an eyelevel finder.
Hmm.... just thinking...
....the longest lens I have ever used for a fashion shoot was 180mm, and THAT was on 2¼" square...(Hassy). Even so, the models were so far away they couldn't hear me in the traffic noise of a city street, so I had to relay my posing directions via mobile 'phone to an assistant stationed just out of shot.
