Can anyone who has used both cameras tell me if there was an improvement in the screen brightness in sunny conditions?
Thanks,
Bruce B.

I believe the III models have a faster access to the outdoor view level adjustment of the LCD, as does the K-1.

What ever you do put on a good anti glare screen protector. I use them on both my Grii and Griii and they work really well.

I was outside today in really bright, sunny conditions with the GRIII. The screen stays very visible even in the brightest conditions. I find the screen brighter compared to the GRII. BUT: The battery will be exhausted within 10-20 photos on the brightest setting. That's why I really like the optical finders that other people on here seem to hate.
In short: Bring lots of extra batteries or use an optical finder.

Hope that helps.

The GRIII is much better than the GRII. Brighter screen with air-gapless design which ups the clarity and brightness, and the outdoor view setting boost is very helpful.
