Coming from (and still having one) Canon point and shoot cameras, I thought Liveview would be a useful feature.
Thus, we got an XSi just before they released the Xs.
To be honest, I don't think we've used Liveview yet. Its not quite the same procedure to get to Liveview as it is on a point and shoot (ie not a single button press), and given the fact that you have to hold a SLR different than a P&S, just doesn't feel like a natural movement to be holding it back from your face to use the screen.
That said, in the near future having Liveview may become more useful to us, so its nice to have the option.
No issues with the XSi...takes great pictures and is fairly feature packed. Not sure what they've stripped out in the Xs (maybe less an IS lens?), but with Canon I don't think you can go wrong either way.
