I have the current Pentax W series camera, and while it takes great 
pictures (and has survived on my PFD in salt water many times), the view 
screen is terrible.  This should be a big improvement, but I'd want to 
look at one in sunlight to believe it...

*"2.* New LCD monitor that is bright and easily viewable The Optio W30 
is equipped with a high-intensity 2.5-inch LCD monitor with an LCD 
Bright Mode that can adjust the brightness of the screen as necessary, 
making it easy to view the screen even outdoors, where there is strong 
sunlight. AR (Anti-Reflection) coating, which controls and reduces 
reflections caused by light, is also used for the monitor, making the 
screen be even more visible outdoors."
