Re: The screen seemed fine to me

I shot today in the bright sun of the desert Southwest and I thought that the screen was right up there with the best rear screens.  I would rather have a viewfinder - and have a few cameras that do - but I was able to compose my pictures and clearly see everything in the frame.  It was very similar to the Sony RX100 on the sunny setting.  So, no complaints from me.  I plan to go hiking on Monday at Valley of Fire, so I'll test to see how the NX500 does compared to my D800 and A7R.  My trick is to wear a big brimmed hat and use the brim to shade the screen of the camera.  Works like a charm as long as you are not farsighted.  Cheers.
