It's all horses for courses...personally I'm on the look out for some thing cheap that I can just keep in the bottom of my day pack and stuff like Kodaks might the bill nicely, I think if people can make decent snaps with a Holga (and they do) then you can do it with even the cheapest Kodak which is 10 steps up from that.

screen size ... to some people, like me, is not important. I probably use it one shot in 30 or less to frame difficult shots like overhead/low angle self portraits (which was the point and reason for buying the A80 with the flip out screen) I far far and away prefer to use the optical viewfinder and probably review only maybe one in 10 shots usually only to get the gist of the basic composition & colour balance. Back home downloaded on the computer is the time to get critical about what worked & didn't and what stays and goes so most of the time the cameras screen's switched off and flipped back.
