I can see this feature becoming standard in the near future - consumer demand. Has anyone found it to be an issue? Any hacks or ways to defeat it (when the camera itself does not allow such?) Guess a small piece of tape over the sensor (there must be a small sensor near the edge of the LCD) could make it stay at one level of brightness but perhaps too bright.

Just switch it to Manual and you're good to go.
