I've been a photographer for over 50 years and I can tell you right now that when the camera is used outdoors you are going to get nothing but glare because you are shooting thru an angled piece of glass. That glass is looking right up at the sky. Every dot of dust, finger mark, baby snot smear, drop of rain is going to *GLOW*.
What in the hell were the engineers thinking??

I don't think you hold the camera straight, and that glass/lens angles up, which would certainly cause glare. Instead, it's an ergonomic thing... You hold the camera angled down, which would be more natural on your wrist, and the glass/lens ends up facing straight forward.
