I have been playing around using live view and the histogram on the 40D for outdoor landscapes but at times the lcd is very hard to see. Any tips?

Thanks, I just was out shooting and used my hat to shade the lcd screen and it did help. I also turned down the brightness a couple of clicks on the lcd and that seemed to make a big difference; plus it was cloudy today around here!

I would say increase the brightness until you can see the image, but whatever works for you :)
