Canon A60 rendered unuseable by sunlight

Pardon the hyperbole, but I found it really annoying that when I took my
new A60 to the beach last week, I found it impossible to see anything on
the LCD display most of the time.

I suppose if I ran the camera in full auto mode all the time this
wouldn't be a problem, but I do like to fiddle, which is why I bought that
particular model after all.

 

The A60 is only a 2 megapixel camera. That does not even give you 300
PPI for 4X^ prints, which is considered photo quality. I hate cheap
assholes like you who spend a hundred or $200 to buy a cheap digital
camera so you look cool at the beach. Then you go leave it in the sun
and ruin it. Serves you right, asshole.

 

Boy, aren't you a great gentleman?
He didn't say he left it in the sun and ruined it. He said the LCD display
is useless in bright sunlight which is a problem common to many digicams.

FYI, a 2MP camera (1600x1200) will give you 266ppi for a 4x6 print which is
considered very good to excellent although purists will insist on 300ppi.
My 2MP Nikon 950 produced more than adequate 8x10s and very good 5x7s. On
line print services consider 128ppi as adequate.

Why do you "hate" someone you don't even know simply because they spend $200
to buy a cheap digicam -- probably NOT simply to look "cool" at the beach?

Sounds like you've got a lot of gowing up to do : (

I think you've been left out in the sun too long; youre certainly ruined.

I wasn't aware that the pixel count of the camera sensor had some effect
on the external LCD image.

Are you suggesting that the LCD on the essentially identical A70 would
work better?

And, are you claiming that you know for what use I purchased and use my
A60?

 

Hoods are available to shade the LCD. Some even have a diopter built
into them to magnify the image. This might help you.
