outdoor pics with Sony Cybershot

[carol k]

I'm brand new at doing digital photography. I recently volunteered to take pictures of graves for a website--all outdoor work. The problem is, I'm having trouble seeing what's on the screen when I work outdoors. This is never a problem indoors. I am using a Sony Cybershot camera. Is there anything I can put over the screen to improve visibility outdoors? I have actually taped a piece of cardboard around the screen to cut down on sun glare. It helps a little, but it is still hard to see what I am aiming at. I wear glasses, so I switch from sunglasses to a regular pair when taking pictures. That also helps a little. These pictures mean a lot to the people who requested them, so any suggestions on improving outdoor visibility with this camera are welcome and appreciated. Also, if the Sony is not suitable for this kind of work, I would also welcome suggestions on inexpensive alternatives.
