If you use the digital display on a digital camera to look at the digitized 
image of the sun, I'm betting there is little chance of damage to your eye in 
that medium.  However, is there specific risk to the camera?  Is there a simple 
way to photograph the sun without resorting to some special lense or waiting 
for the sun to be naturally filtered by the deflecting atmosphere of the 
sunrise or sunset?
