Nikon Coolpix LCD is crap in daylight

I have to guess where the subject is and hope for the best. You are dumbasses Nikon! OK, not just Nikon but a lot of camera companies are doing the same thing. You have to pay another $100.00 just to get a P&S with a viewfinder. All LCDs are crap in sunlight. The LCD displays on my Garmin GPS navigator, and my Nokia smartphone, are perfectly and brilliantly readable in direct sunlight - because the designers took that into account and put a reflective panel behind the LCD. It's called a transflective display - and it's well past high time that camera manufacturers started putting them in digital cameras. I suspect the reason they won't is that transflective displays mess with colour rendition. The latest backlit displays are a great advance and perfectly readable in the kind of dismal winter sunlight we get in Scotland just now. It'll be quite some time before I'll find out how they fare in bright summer sunlight :-) Perhaps there is an issue with color rendition on transflective screens; but honestly, using the camera on my phone things look accurate enough to me. Of course, things change when direct sunlight is falling on the screen; but frankly I'd much rather put up with colors that change a little in the sun than have to cope with a screen that becomes totally unviewable under the same circumstances. |
