Fair enough, but I'm curious about the (slr styled) EVF cams.
Most of them don't seem to have an external cover that can slide across 
(and protect lens and sensor).
So if one were careless enough to leave it lens-up in bright sun I 
wonder if damage may result?

Is the shutter of the Pellix cloth or metal?
