Now many DSLRs record video as well as stills, so they lock the mirror up for that so the viewfinder can;t be used, only the LCD.
'Need' is in the eye of the user - many of them now have it, and users have good tales of it. Mine don't - yet. Someday I'll upgrade to one with it, but I see no need for it yet.
I use it a lot. Its quite hard to focus when the camera is attached to a telescope and live view makes it easier some of the time.
Some of them have more than one sensor and a beam splitter. These can leave the mirror down.
Then there are the Sony SLDs with a fixed mirror, two sensors and a EVF.
For that and macro, seem to be where it really scores.
Is Adam's camera a DSLR then?
