In bright sunlight I use the "hold it up to your eye" EVF (press the button labelled "EVF/LCD") which is a bit crude but works on the most dazzlingly white beach. Incidentally, you focus the EVF with a little wheel thingy near the button that says "OPEN" (no doubt it is in the manual but life is too short)I also have a Panasonic DMC-FX50 which I keep in my shirt pocket. For a photo taken with the latter see:<a href="http://www.thingysoft.com/myblog/images/final/lg_P1190937.jpg" target="_blank">http://www.thingysoft.com/myblog/images/final/lg_P1190937.jpg</a>All the other photos on my blog (see signature below) were taken with the FZ18. I will be buying something big and heavy for lugging around with a tripod in a while (we will be hiring a team of porters) but the FZ18 is great for very quick candid shots</blockquote>
