Can you see the screen to frame a shot outside in bright sunlight?

Yes, you can see the screen in bright sun light pretty good - just tried it for you today.

I haven't tried it in bright sunlight, yet. Good question though, as I hadn't thought about the lack of a normal viewfinder. Might hold on to my old camera just in case, it took great daytime shots but was poor in low light situations.

No, I don't know of a camera you can see the frame in bright sunlight. I will say the frame is large and it is much easier to "estimate" than on other digital cameras I have owned in the past.

I have had my camera out in bright sunlight, and I can see the shot no matter what's around me. In strong sunlight around highly reflective surfaces like snow, concrete, and sand you might get a glare. I sometimes have to compensate for glare by changing my angle of view of the camera's back (that is, I have to move my head a little to see) or shading it with my hand. But given this one caveat, it's fine to see.

I haven't had any difficulty using it in sunlight. I haven't taken it to snow or the beach yet though. However, since I haven't noticed an issue or even thought twice about it, I don't anticipate any problems. I haven't even turned up the LCD brightness all the way (no need)!

I've only had the camera since the beginning of december, so I haven't used it in a lot if sunlight. However, the shots that I did take outside, I was definitely able to see the screen. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

Yes! I had no trouble seeing the image that I was photographing..And I just spent 12 days taking the pictures in Aruba and the islands. All my pictures came out beautifully and I'm an amateur photographer per say.

Yes, without any problem. Please keep in mind that if you have polaroid sunglasses on it does make it difficult to see the screen on any camera.

No. The view finder has a small LCD screen and shown the image that will be saver. This is a must for taking photos outside in the sun. I use it ALL the time, but it will not flip around. Not for this price

I wouldn't think it would matter what camera you were using. Even a "nikon," lol. Its just something that magnifies your view, and keeps the bright sun light off your viewing screen. Its such a great piece when you are out shooting in Bright sun.I even used it to see my phone better yesterday at the air show! A MUST HAVE in bright sun!

If you can stand it on window sill or mount it to something,You can but in bright sunlight it may give a glare. I have hadit take really clear pics and a few washout pic. We use it to hunt, I love it. Have other brand cams but like Wildgame the best.

Yes. I used it outdoors on a 16 foot wide x 8 foot high screen and it looked awesome. Actually... Better picture quality than at a drive in.

Yes Jack, the LCD screen works great even in bright sunlight as long as you are not wearing polarized sunglasses while using it. The 3 inch LCD screen is awesome!

It has a good display. I think it will be fine in bright sunlight, BUT you must aim it at your face. The best thing is it has a big display whick makes things a lot easier. -Migs

I use the view finder most of the time, no problem in the sun.. the lens should have sun shade.

Yes. I took a number at the beach. I might not try long exposure, but daylight is fine!

I have not tried the tuner outside having the sun DIRECTLY on the display but it is definitely bright enough to be seen outside. The display is completely blacked out until you activate it. It is ultra bright.Hope this helps.

yes, it does, the problem with the unit is that when it is bright and sunny you can't see the screen.

Correct there is no viewfinder. I didn't have much trouble with the screen in bright sunlight. Took the camera to Cabo San Lucas for vacation and it worked great. And I should add that it will depend somewhat on how sensitive your eyes are in the sun and if you are wearing sunglasses. I had sunglasses with a medium tint. I didn't find it to be an issue like it is on a lot of smart phones.

Yes, the LCD screen will show "snow" if the scene is dark. The screen brightness can be adjusted by tapping a button on the back of the camera or by using the setup menu, but the speckles on the screen will be visible. When you review your photo on the LCD, you will see how the photo will look on a computer screen or when you make a print...the image in the review mode is much "cleaner" than the view you have while taking the photo. A "trick" to ensure your actual photo is noise free is to lock the ISO at either ISO 100 or ISO 200 in the aperture mode with the aperture locked at f/3.1. You will get a clean photo, even if the screen is "noisy" while taking the photo.

It is not visible. You need for it to be always in shade for screen to show properly.

Hi Jack,Even when the sun is high and glaring directly on my LCD screen, I still can see my subject!Buy it. You'll love it.

Debbie. I haven't used the camera at the beach yet, but I've used the camera in bright sunlight without difficulty (I live in North Carolina which has its fair share of sunshine). You can turn up the brightness of the LCD screen to match the conditions with the minor downside on battery life.

Yes, you can see. The image quality will not be the best due to lighting and focus distance.
