Just a tad bit of advice from a photografur.. Never point your digital camera directly at the sun as it will more than likely do damage to the CCD inside, you may not see it visually, but it will be there, the more you do it, the more damage will happen. Unless you shoot with a polarizer and a sun blocking filter, it is never a good plan to point your camera at the sun X3.

*little chime* The more you know :)
