Default Nikon Coolpix LCD is crap in daylight

Why do these ****ers put just an LCD for viewing and no viewfinder if the
LCD is **** in bright 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.

I guess someone held a gun to your head and made you buy it. You didn't
know it had no viewfinder???

At least Fujifilm cameras all have an EVF.

If you never knew cameras ever had optical viewfinders you would not
question why the camera does not have one.
You misunderstand the market this camera is aimed at.

Because the dumbassed mooing masses want it that way. That's why they call
it 'point n' shoot'.

"Composition? We don't need no stinkin' composition!"

Now, one company is not just doing one, but they got a second one on the
FRONT of the camera.

If you bought a Canon, you wouldn't have that problem. Did you pay only
fifty bucks for that "Crude-Pix"?

You're mistaken there, George. Here's the latest Canon Elph, $379.99 and NO
OPTICAL VIEWFINDER.

Actually though, as far as composition is concerned the LCD is far, far
better than an optical viewfinder in one of those little buggers. Rarely if
ever does an optical viewfinder in a compact camera show more than 80% of
the subject, and what good is that for composition? An LCD shows 100% of
what you'll actually get, or very close to it.

Of course you can't SEE the damn thing in sunlight, but if you could see it
it'd be great for composition. :-)


Now, one company is not just doing one, but they got a second one on the
FRONT of the camera.


The important thing of course is to have a NEW feature in the camera. Next
year: a built-in electric can opener.
