[QUOTE="SteveH, post: 309078, member: 9252"] Well, if you point [I]directly [/I]at the sun, you are going to get a VERY white circle, but if you have, say, and landscape with the sun fairly high in the sky at mid day, you can get a very nice photograph and it won't damage the camera at all. I wouldn't point the camera with a strong zoom at the sun for too long, like a few minutes as you may find it heats the inside of the lens (Happens with telescopes used for solar astronomy) due to the magnification of the glass.
