How does this model perform in bright sunlight?

In my experience, the shade works well. This is all relative to light angle, but the plus is the wide viewing angle of the screen: You can angle your monitor to avoid direct or reflected sunlight...

Bright sunlight is best of course. Scatter clouds type conditions are OK, I monitor the temperature. I want to keep it around 190 degrees (slow cooker conditions) or higher. When the temperature drops below180 degrees or so, I transfer the cooking to my toaster oven. Overcast days (no shadows) will not work, hence the device name "Sun Oven". Actually, I have found the Sun Oven works great during the winter under clear skies and low humidity conditions. I really like using my oven. It cooks better than the conventional oven because you can over cook something by hours and the meat is still moist. Bright sunlight is best of course.

I haven't had any problems with it. However, I haven't tried reading in really bright sunlight.

Hi Jack, Even when the sun is high and glaring directly on my LCD screen, I still can see my subject! Buy it. You'll love it.

I'm not sure but this model didn't put out much light at all. I never use it.

Extremely pleased with the unit. When the panel is exposed to direct sunlight, I can get over 8 hours of light. It was well worth the price.

Its quite bright on the high setting. I doubt I'll even need the high setting during daylight until the batteries start to get weak. First time I shot was full sun and on high the red dot was "bleeding out", I had to turn it dimmer to get a cleaner dot for clean aiming.Oh, right. The Red Dot scope from TruGlo I put on with the NcStar 45-degree mount has the qualities listed above. :)

Yes, you can see the screen in bright sun light pretty good - just tried it for you today.

I haven't had any difficulty using it in sunlight. I haven't taken it to snow or the beach yet though. However, since I haven't noticed an issue or even thought twice about it, I don't anticipate any problems. I haven't even turned up the LCD brightness all the way (no need)!

Yes. In bright sunlight I like to fold in the color screen and look through the viewfinder.

Love the camera, but you can't see in bright sunlight. You need a camera with an eyepiece for viewing in sunlight. Fuji makes this model also.

Yes, adjustable brightness settings allow you to read the screen in bright sunlight. At the max setting, it is more than clear enough for easy reading.

The screen is bright, I haven't noticed any issues. It does get warm, but I use a cooling pad with fan under it. It is heavy also.

I did not see any noticable difference in bright sunlight except for the anti glare. It was less "mirror-like" but, it's not a miracle. It's not going to make an LCD be like a Kindle Paperwhite in the daylight. That's a whole different manufacturing process and not a anti-glare film.

It operates better than I expected during the day time. If it's direct sunlight, I think you're outta luck with most projectors, but this is used in our office and during the morning it's rather bright and it works fine, but is obviously better in low light situations.

Does it make mistakes and sometimes lead you to a closed down or gravel road? Infrequently but it does and all other brands will too. I use mine all of time for touring and it works great. Regarding the screen, I'm shocked at how readable it IS in full sun turned up bright all of the way.

it all depends of available sun light, however I have been very happy with its performance.
