Have trouble seeing your digital camera's LCD screen in sunlight?

I was looking all over trying to find a way to be able to use my digital camera outside. The LCD screen goes way too dark to be able to see the image or information. Apparently this is a common problem with many digital cameras. After searching all over the net I found a simple and inexpensive solution from the folks at 360Texas.com http://www.360texas.com/tips/hood.htm
I hope others can use it as well.

Thanks. I preach about getting optical viewfinders every day. It's a shame that so MANY people buy cameras without them without knowing that they might just need one every now and again.

You can also buy a product like this already made from a few manufacturers, such as Delkin or Hoodman.

You can also try just using your left hand to shade the LCD while you use the right hand to operate the controls.

It's a shame, too. I remember when they started putting the flash right on the center line of the lens, even though EVERYONE knew this would cause trouble with red-eye. Getting rid of the LCD is similar. Everyone knows it's good to have one sometimes... Report It

whats your question?

thanks

Yeah thats true, in the sunlight, its hard to see, because sun is on it. find a shade, with little sun.

That's an interesting site. Thanks for the link!

Delkin makes one too, for about $10-$15.
