Does this camera have a view finder?

Unfortunately not. It's the one thing I miss, being an old fashioned camera user. I did find that I quickly got used to it though since most do away with the view finder these days for a good screen (this camera has a nice, clear, large one). A little difficult in bright light.

There is a view finder just like any other digital camera. It doesn't come with a memory card, but it takes SD cards. It functions like any other point and shoot camera; it's just more durable an water proof. I used it traveling for 2 months and it worked great!

Ok so the pictures say it has a viewfinder (the little eyehole on the back of the camera for the unintelligent), yet some people are saying it does NOT have one and some people are saying it DOES have one.... how is someone who NEEDS a viewfinder supposed to know whether to purchase this camera or not

There is no view finder. The lens is a wide angle type and I've not had any issues with it not picking up a good field of view.

Yes, and if you are going to use this camera properly you need to take shots with the view finder and not the LCD. It is an amazing camera. I matched it up with another camera that was 4 times the cost and this camera beat it hands down. Great camera. Best purchase I have made in years.

YES! If you look at a rear photo of camera you will notice a eyelevel viewfinder. It is not of the opitical type , but like a video camera (a very high pixel image).

Yes, it comes with a viewfinder, quite a nice one, actually. The whole set up was good value, for the money.

this website says it does (scroll down to where it says "viewfinder"): http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/leica-d-lux-6/leica-d-lux-6DAT.HTM

There is no viewfinder on this camera - monitor is big enough so viewfinder not really needed.

This camera DOES HAVE a viewfinder!! Yes, I am frustrated by the new cameras coming out without viewfinders. It is very hard to see those LCD screens when you are taking photos outdoors. I LOVE this camera. I have 5 Nikon Coolpix cameras, and this is the best for its lightness, automatic lens cover, takes fabulous photos and picture perfect videos without the zoom making any noise if you zoom in and out. If I lost this camera, I would replace it with the exact same model.

I do not know. I will say I love the camera but would have spent the extra money to have viewfinder if I had it to do again.

Yes. The view finder pops out and turns the camera on just as if you were opening the side display.

Nope, the S100 does not have an optical view finder (if that's what you meant). It only has the LCD screen on the back which doubles up as the view finder. It is quite convenient, but does consume battery.

No it does not ive found view finders more frequent on sony and the waterproof rugged cameras or the slr/xlr

It does not have an eye view finder but you can make the screen resolution darker or lighter which might help. I used it under water but I was standing and just stuck it under then took pictures. The first time I did this I had trouble with the sun reflecting. That night I played with it and darkened the screen. I had no problems seeing the second day!

No, it does not. There is, however, a socket to connect an optional LCD viewfinder.

Only some special purpose cameras do not have viewfinders at all. These are, for example, web cameras and video surveillance cameras. They use external monitors as their viewfinders. To better explain the answer I will guess you are asking about an optical viewfinder and not an electronic one. To which the answer would be; No it doesn't have an optical viewfinder. However, it does have an electronic viewfinder; the LCD screen. In addition to its primary purpose, the LCD screen; an electronic viewfinder, can be used to replay previously captured material, and as an on-screen display to browse through menus.
