On DSLRs, live view
is an afterthought. It wasn't even common until a few years ago, when they all started using CMOS sensors. If you want to use live view for more than a few special occasions, get a mirrorless camera. But then, I don't have to tell
you this, as I see you already have one.
If I'm doing long exposures, I always use the 2-second delay, regardless of whether the camera has a mirror or not. I only use the remote release with mirror lock-up if I'm using really long lenses.
