Not quite as sharp as the F10, but the difference will never be seen by
most users. Almost a quarter bulkier, but the same weight.

That sounds great for so many people. Good thinking, Nik*n.

I still don't have any problem with that. You shouldn't shoot things,
and especially people, facing directly into the sun anyway. :-) The
F10 LCD is quite bright and I think there is a brightness adjustment,
but I find one hand on the camera and one blocking the sun works for me.
Can't see anything on the LCD on my phone in the sun, though. Drives me
crazy in my convertible.

Great idea! More good Nik*n thinking.

Still, gives one a chance to catch folks in moments of rest. I'll still
take the high iso, but this sounds like a great camera for some folks I
know. Thanks for the tip.
