In bright sun or bright shade, the NX500 screen is almost impossible to see and do composition work. I have the LCD set to maximum brightness. From what I was reading, I was hoping that the NX500 would have a brighter screen than the NX300 which I found unacceptable. I do live in the Central Coast of California where the sun is bright but this appears to be a real problem for camera usability. I am going to try a ClearViewer and a hand over the screen but this is hard for me to do with a cane, need something to lean on or a monopod. With a cane, my ideal is a camera I can use with one hand.

I am really missing an EVF. I wonder when Samsung will come out with the NX50. I want to stay small.

I use a 3x2 aspect ratio hoodman for $80 on my NX300, works perfectly:

Check the last few pics for the set up. You can make yours prettier, I am sure.

It will make the NX500 am 'almost' NX1.
