GREAT camera, except............ no optical viewfinder. I narrowed my choices down to this camera and the Canon Powershot SD550 Digital ELPH. I bought the Nikon and it worked great...indoors. I went to the beach at lunchtime (yeah I can do that) to test it out in bright sunlight and could barely see anything in the LCD, even after adjusting brightness. I returned it and got the Canon, that has an optical viewfinder, and I am very happy with it. Too bad because the Nikon is a great camera. If the Nikon had an optical viewfinder, I would have kept it. The rotary control is also very cool.
