Have you tried shooting with a 5n in bright light or are you just going on the common report that the lcd is hard to read in bright light.
Scott, I tried a 5n at a dealer here in Albuquerque. I stepped outside with the camera and could not read the exposure information in the viewfinder except by contortions that would really require three hands for every shot. I've noticed the problem also on the ZX-50 and the PZ-1p. The MZ-S may be a bit more readable, but I haven't used it since January so don't recall precisely. Part of the problem may be that I wear glasses. But others have complained of this problem too. If the 5n works for you, that's great. I assume it's being discontinued, though.
