I have a 350D and have recently bought a 40D and still find I have to shield the screen when in sunlight. It's better, but not as we want it!

AFAIK, size isn't related to surface brightness ....

My compact has much bigger screen than my DSLRs and it's still tricky in very bright light. Of course when you can see it it's much better for reviewing pictures...

It'd be nice to have a bigger screen but it's not something I'd regard as essential - certainly not enough to make me go and buy a replacement camera just for that feature alone.

what i should have asked really is whether the whole set up had been altered in newer cameras to make it more visible
