Is the viewfinder optical or electronic?

Hi - I got out the manual in order to answer this question. It is an electronic viewfinder. Hope this helps. By the way, this is a great camera!

I haven't looked at my instruction manual for the answer, but I say it is optical. Can see thru it perfectly and switch to the screen for viewing as well. Hope this helps

Yes it has an electronic view finder (EVF) above the LCD screen in the back

You are definitely not alone in wanting a viewfinder. I am at the age where I need reading glasses and thus, if I am using the camera, I need to have glasses handy so I can see the LCD. This is very frustrating. And I am purchasing a camera with a high optical zoom feature primarily so I can use it outdoors, for nature shots. So having the LCD wash out in the bright light is also going to be frustrating.

The viewfinder is an optional accesory, and with the baterry you can buy extra baterry for a few dollars, I recomend you buy another one, because It last for about. 70 min on continue use.

I does have a viewfinder, it's small but useful for situations you describe. The LCD screen is very good also, about 1 million pixels vs 250 to 400 thousand for most point & Shoot cameras. The shutter to picture time (or Delay) is excellent, with a good UHS Class1 card, it's as quick as you can get w/o going to a full size DSLR.

There is a small wheel to the right of the viewfinder. By turning it you will adjust the viewfinder to your eyesight. Easy!

No, not on this model. But, my wife has an older model that does have a viewfinder,but she only uses it on bright, sunny days when it difficult to see the picture.

It has both an LCD in the back and a viewfinder. The viewfinder is not through-the-lens, but rather looks at an internal LCD image. I prefer this kind to through-the-lens, because it gives an image that is similar to what you are recording. If, for example, your color balance is wrong, you'll see it immediately, something you won't know if you use a through-the-lens kind. I like this viewfinder much more than the LCD in the back; I guess I'm old fashioned, and I like to hold the camera up to my eye. It also works better than the back LCD for bright light conditions.

It has two viewfinders, screen on the back that pivots (great for selfies) and an eyepiece when it's too bright.I really like this camera.

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, this camera doesn't have a physical view finder. I know it is a pain looking at the LCD in the sunlight. Had I known this before, I would have gotten the one with the view finder.The one you are looking for has 32 GB of memory inside it. The one I have has 16 GB and is the middle range Video Camera.

Hi... No view finder but the monitor changes into different angles which is nice to have. I got a battery charger with rechargeable batteries & I am enjoying them. Batteries will go a long time if you just take pics. I use the video so they won't last as long but they have lasted long enough for my approval. Hope this helps. mark

There is no built-in viewfinder. However, it is possible to attach an external Panasonic viewfinder DMW-LVF2. This unit is quite small and very light.

it doesn't have a physical view finder, only digital screen. It has limited storage on board and supports SD cards.

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.

There is no optical view finder and from my experience, that is the biggest flaw with this camera especially for outside sunny days. The LCD screen does tilt and I've had to use that many times to be able to see what I'm trying to capture. Although that does not totally compensate for not having a view finder.

Hi Kendal N,The viewfinder is a good option to use when the LCD is obscured by bright sunlight, but it is not a very high resolution image. It's workable though for capturing most shots. The viewfinder is also useful when using the zoom lens, as it allows the camera to be held more steady.
