But is that enough energy to cause damage? Its clearly not a huge problem otherwise cases with camera covers would probably be common.
I don't think its worth most users worrying about it. But definitely don't point your camera at the sun on purpose.
I'll meet you half way on this because now I'm invested. No luck finding anything other than "It's bad" from non-scientific studies, but I found a paper quantifying sensor damage from lasers. If you can find something comparing constant solar exposure and short-term laser exposures, maybe we can figure this thing out ourselves.

Basically, my point is don't leave your electronics out in the sun, like leaving it out on a bench park table or such in direct sunlight.
I'm pretty sure it'll be fine with a little brief exposure to the sun, just don't leave it out there ya know..
