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?

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. Mike

Thanks Fred If you regularly use an A2 I can't fathom why you would want anything above a waterproof throw-a-way. You don't think that you will get a truly portable camera that supplies decent images in a digital format, do you? Well, it ain't waterproff but I get decent images from my 8mp Casio - and it fits in my shirt pocket.
