Hi everybody,
I am a new user and have a Canon PowerShot SX200IS.
I have trouble with the LCD monitor in bright sun conditions, as I get my reflection in the monitor which washes out the picture.
I have been advised to use the camera at a lower level, as opposed to eyelevel and to one side. This works but requires some waggling to get a good composition.
I really miss not having an optical viewfinder, but they seem to be out of fashion. 5 am thinking of changing to a Fujifilm fine pix as they offer a digital viewfinder which is a step in the right direction.
However the Canon is a fine camera and I would like to overcome this problem.Has anybody any ideas?

There really arent any options, and this is why a lot of people dont care about live view on a dSLR. LCD screens have come a long way, btu theyre still going to be hard to see in bright light.

Tryt googling "camera lcd sun shade" or something like that. There are shades out there, maybe even what you're looking for.
