 I am mostly happy with the picture quality from my little yard-sale 10 mega pixel Panasonic Lumix.

Not so much, though, on bright, sunny days -- when the sun hits your eye like a big pizza pie that's (not) amore.

One way around the screen blanking reflections is to use a magnifying viewfinder that also shades the screen.  I just need to do a little work on the mounting system.

During Balloon Fiesta week I have been carrying around my Nikon FE mounted with a long zoom for shooting balloons.  The little Panasonic rides along in a pocket and lets me get color images during the noontime events in the tree-shaded Plaza Vieja.
