Sunlight for tomato sprouts?

It seems the best light for starting baby plants is sunlight, so when the weather allows is it not best to start baby plants outside in the thick of it? As long as the soil is kept moist on the surface for seeds that haven't sprouted yet wouldn't it be best to keep them in full sunlight for the ones that already have?

Hi Nopeda,

I planted some money maker tomato seeds two weeks ago and I've had them in full sunlight (for at least 4hrs each day). They sprouted quickly and now are about 4 inches tall. I kept the potting mix moist.

I'm new to this so I've never tried germinating seeds indoors so I can't make a comparison. But from my limited experience sunlight works well.
