"Bad design flaw #2"
Pros: Great features!
Cons: Don't try to use it outside in the sun.
Summary: I got this for Christmas. Loved the camera when I used it inside. When I went outside to take pictures in the sun, I found that if its sunny you can't see the LCD! Called Olympus tech support and was led to the brightness control for the LCD. It helped only a little. Tech support confirmed that this is a known problem and didn't comment when I told her I was going to return the camera.

Maybe you've never taken a laptop or a cell phone outdoors, but the nature of an LCD screen tends to reflect sunlight. This is the same across the board with any camera. Kodak, Canon, and Sony are some of the few brands (other than a digital SLR) that offer models with viewfinders. Next time consider one of those options. I'm sure the olympus customer service representative gave a darn that you are returning it... clue - they don't.
