I have an older Nikon 7900 with 2" screen and even in normal light
sometimes have to take a guess when outside that I have got the subject in
frame. I was thinking of getting a modern digi camera with 2.5 or bigger
LCD screen but only if I feel convinced they are better to use outside.
Whats the point in having to guess the shot???

Anyone with a modern camera with the LCD that will work in brighter
conditions?

Thanks you to you all for helping with this.

Coincidently we had a friend stay this weekend who had a Paznasonic FZ18 so
was able to make comparisons with my Nikon. It does prove the modern cameras
LCD can be viewed in bright conditions. But it also proved that I don't want
to carry this size of camera around. So I am now looking for smaller like
the Panasonic TZ5 or TZ4 but the drawback is no viewfinder but good zoom.
The Canon G10 looks perfect but I haven't go that sort of budget £400!!!
Half that at most :-)

So 28mm, viewfinder, image stabilisation, £200 max and I will start looking
at Dpreview unless anyone shouts with suggestions. I see Sony DSC W170 looks
interesting and wonder if anyone has any experience of this camera?
