Budget Digital Camera Recommendations

[pam95]

We currently have a Sony Cybershots camera. What I really hate about it is that the glare on the screen is so bad in full sun that I can't see a thing on it, so I can't tell if I'm getting a good picture or not. Can anyone recommend a really good (budget) digital camera with a really good non-glare screen? TIA!

I'd ask on the photo board as well! I like Canon cameras.

I don't know of any digital camera screens which you can see well in bright sunlight. I would like to have one which you could see under all conditions myself!

Hmmm, I'm not sure that buying a new digital camera is the answer to glare on the screen in bright sunlight.

You can try a Hoodman Loupe, which some dSLR photographers use to view the LCD screen in bright sunlight (link). You hang it around your neck, and when you want to view your LCD screen, you just place it right on top and it shades the LCD screen from the sun. It costs $79.99.

I'm sure there's probably eBay knock-offs of this somewhere, but I haven't looked. I've been very tempted to buy this myself.

I look through the viewfinder in the bright sunlight. I have 3 sony cybershots and love them so I am probably not the one to help you.

What kind of cyber-shot do you have? Could make it easier to suggest where else to move up based on what kind of camera you are already accustomed to using.
