It's a DSC-WX7.  But it doesn't have a viewfinder, which I really miss actually.  I haven't used it in snow on a sunny day (just got it this May), but in bright summer sun, the LCD is useable but not great.  Brightness of the screen is adjustable, which is nice, but I'm going to bet that a bright sunny day on top of a Utah mountain is going to make the LCD useless. 

But....that burst sequence is really terrific.  I will email you some sample pics of a soccer player kicking a ball that will hit home the value of 5 frames per second.  Most run-of-the-mill point and shoot cameras can do about 1 frame per second or less, which is fine for long ski turn sequences, but if you really want to break it down into fine segments, faster is better....  8)

BTW, my little Sony can take HD video, and in 3-D too! Cool!  Just need a 3-D television to see it  ::)

Edit:  correction -- the camera can do 10 frames/second.
