I agree; the screen is often hard to see in bright light. 
Unfortunately, this is not the best camera when you mainly shoot in 
bright light.

What is needed IMHO is a camera with the Fuji sensor, a decent 28 or 
24 to something zoom, some kind of optical viewfinder, image 
stabilization, a good battery, good responsiveness and RAW capability 
with a buffer so the stupid camera doesn't lock up for what seems 
like an hour after every shot!

Make it reasonably pocketable and $400 and you have my vote (and money).

           .......dreaming, but possible.
