I read a review on the Optio WP
It has no view finder and the review said that the screen was
impossible
to
view in sunlight.
Is this true?

*Most* LCD screens on still and video cameras and the like are nearly
impossible to read in sunlight. It's not limited to just Optio cameras.

We seem to have come full circle from photography as it was a century
ago. Obviously what one has to do is put it on a tripod, attach a
focusing cloth and get under it and view it. To make it perfect of
course we would need to have the image displayed upside down.

I do it, all the time - view upside down images that is. Of course I'm a
photographic dinosaur and still use my trusty Yashicamat 124g with great
regularity. I have digicams, even a DSLR too, but nothing beats the end
result from a medium format film frame as far as quality IMO. Except maybe a
view camera's large format output. Seemed to work out for Ansel and the old
boys from back in the day...of course they used the aforementioned cover
cloth, so maybe that is the secret.
