When it's that bright and you want your subjects to face the camera then move to the shade. Another option is to have the sun still to your back but at an angle (like facing your shoulder, more than your back) to keep your subjects from staring right into the sun. There are incredible advanced point & shoots that offer you the capability of changing your settings while not being nearly as expensive/cumbersome as a DSLR. I have owned 2 Panasonics (they are famous for their Lumix lenses) and been totally happy with both. Check www.CNet.com for reviews for what is best today. Hi Heidi,

How do you deal with \'squinties\' (young subjects who complain and squint their eyes due to the sun being at your back causing them to face the sun)?? Also, another random question - I\'ve been thinking of upgrading to a \'big girl\' camera. What would be the best step up (but managable for a novice phographer) from a standard digital point and shoot? Great tips!
