No, I use my binoculars for viewing. WHen I look through my D-50's viewfinder, it looks very tiny and I am lucky when I can see the bird at all. Unless I am very close to the subject, I can't even tell if the bird is in focus or not - I just guess and take a range of photos moving the focus a tiny bit each time. Autofocus never works because there is always brush and branches in the way.
