What is your Sony pt-n-shoot.  No, don't want a GoPro type of camera.


I'm wanting to ski down the hill ahead of Lynn and then video while she skis by.  I have a Sony HandyCam, but can't see the LCD in the bright sunlight, and still difficult even when I stand in the shade.
Most importantly, hard to focus on the person and keep up with the zoom when looking down at an LCD screen.  And, because of Laser surgery, Lynn can't get the LCD screen far enough away from her eye to see it (without digging out her reading glasses)
Would like to have something like the HandyCam but with an optical viewfinder.


I really want to be able to zoom in pretty close so we can see what the feet are doing.
