The newer point and shoot cameras have a lot brighter LCD's and are
doing away with the viewfinders so as to be able to maximize LCD size.
The newest cameras on the brink of coming out will have touch screen
LCD's and features for use with focal targeting etc. (touch a figure on
the screen and the camera's focal plane will adjust/ follow the figure
until you shoot).
I just used one of the new Sony point and shoots out of doors and did
not have any problem whatsoever with screen washout although it was not
the supreme test posed by snow or beach scenes...

Digital camera folks! Which manner of "viewfinding" do you use
and/or prefer? Camera held out in front of you at arms length as you
stand or walk about looking like a zombie, or to use the actual
viewfinder if your camera has one?
I'm a viewfinder person myself if for no other reason than any
camera is hard to hold steady when held at arms length.
For point & shoot cameras, viewfinder, always. Most of the time the little
LCD is just too hard to see.
Of course, for SLRs there's no choice because the mirror's covering the
sensors (on all the ones I've used, anyway). You have to use the viewfinder.
