sounds great! yah, first issue i have with taking picts in the daylight with my digital cam or my droidx is glare and werd/fuzzy contrast. i want the depth so will get the polarizer for the times i need it for sure.

You might be better off with a neutral density filter with direct sunlight shots.
thanks.... huh, 'neutral density filter'... yet another new term i need to study.
