GFX 100 LCD Viewable in Bright Sunlight?

[John Hollenberg]

The reason I ask is that the LCD on my Sony A7r2 is very difficult to see in bright sunlight.  I like to use the LCD to check the composition.  Is the GFX 100 LCD any better in bright sun?

Thanks.

It will have issues as most LCDs have in direct sun  But you always have the ability to tilt it away from direct sunlight. Never seems to be a problem for me.

I have problems with LCD in direct sun with all my cameras, including GFX100. Hoodman's Hoodloupe can help in those cases.
I always wondered how the owners of the Phase One XT system work as a non-tiltable LCD is the only framing tool.

I had hoped to see a tilting LCD on the IQ4. Since there is currently no Capture Pilot solution and has t been from first day of ship, direct sunlight on the LCD is very problematic.

The GFX LCD is the same as any other.  BUT, the GFX 100 w/ the tilt adapter for the EVF is a real blessing.  Makes composition and image review a breeze, especially for a geezer like me who doesn’t “bend” like he did when a young guy.  And I have a loupe for when I want to view the LCD.

I found the following specs for maximum LCD brightness:

GFX 100 - 800 cd/m2 (https://en.fujifilmamericas.com.bo/products/digital_cameras/gfx/fujifilm_gfx100/features/page_04.html)

Samsung Galaxy S7 (my phone) - 855 cd/m2 (https://www.displaymate.com/Galaxy_S7_ShootOut_1.htm)

I couldn't find specs for the Sony LCD brightness.
