multifarious mushrooms

When I first got my digital camera, after having used an SLR for years, I couldn’t work out why people were holding theirs way out in front of them. I soon worked it out.
The LCD lens on a digital camera is pretty useless on a bright day. All you can see is black and you take photos blind.
My camera does have a viewfinder but it isn’t any use when I’m taking a zoomed image. What I see is not what I get.

There are cameras you can get which overcome the problem. The Sony W and the Canon G9 are just two of them. They have viewfinders which act like the ones on SLRs.

Or you can buy a Delkin Pop-up Shade which sticks to the back of the camera, protecting the LCD and which folds out to shade the screen.
