I have changed from my Nikon DSLR to mirorless because of weight, I recently had a stroke. I have the Fugifilm X-A3 and I like it very much, but no view finder. So what is the answer for shooting outside in the sunlight? The hoods availiable are cheap plastic and just don't work. Is so called antiglare stick on really work?

I have 2 Nikon 1 cameras without viewfinder. I use LCD viewfinder similar to the one in the link below. It works perfectly on those cameras. However, if your camera has a touch screen and you have few buttons to control your settings this may be difficult to use. Another thing, I did a quick search and found no version of this that is said to fit your camera. But if you find one that goes for your camera and does not block any settings it will be a perfect solution to your problem. Yes, they will double the size of the camera but are very lightweight, you will not notice the weight.

Consider Hoodman. Quality rubber viewing hood.

I had a stroke in June of 07. On blood thinners ever since. I have a Canon T7I that works great for me! Get it at Greentoe.com.

Thanks to all of you for your suggestions. I had not heard of them before now.

Lens hoods do work in preventing glare - plus, they provide excellent lens protection.

Unfortunately nothing is going to work as well as moving to a camera with a viewfinder. Fujifilm has several good choices.
