Yes, built in. It is how you adjust controls and features. It tilts only up and down, not east and west. Love it!

No the camera does NOT come with a view finder. I did find one online for it but it was terrible to use and I sent it back.

Yes, both the A1200 & the A1300 have viewfinders. In bright sunshine or snow this is a huge benefit. I have one & have given four as gifts.

It has BOTH a viewfinder or you can use the display in the back of the camera. I am like you, I don't like using the display. The viewfinder is excellent. There is a switch on the top of the camera that lets you choose which viewing system you prefer and it defaults it until you change it.

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.

No it doesn't. But I had no problem using the screen. It's such a compact camera, it almost seems like a hassle to look through a viewfinder.

It does come with the viewfinder, but screws at top and bottom of knocker hold it in place. I guess it may be possible for the viewfinder(if tightened enough)to hold it in place.

Yes it does and that was one of the main reasons I purchased. A viewfinder is great when shooting in bright sun and a reflective background like a beach.

Yes, the P7100 has a viewfinder, but when I say viewfinder, its basically a viewing area of our shot only, no display of settings etc. It does work for me when i want o look through it to set the composition of my shot.

No. Most cameras in this class do not have a viewfinder. The S120 I purchased doesn't either. You must use the LCD panel on the back of the camera.

The viewfinder is very small, I've gotten in the habit of not using it. Haven't used it for either bright sunlight or actions. However, it is one of the few cameras in this class with a viewfinder, and I am glad to have it. One of the reasons why this camera appealed to me. Will check these two conditions. I am extremely satisfied with the camera so far.

Yes. The Nikon 1 V1 has both a display AND a viewfinder. Not sold separately. It's a masterpiece, in my opinion.

There is no viewfinder. Only the LCD screen. As a SLR user that bothered me at first. Now I couldn't imagine any other way.

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

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.

Yes, the camera has an electronic viewfinder. Full details of the main parts of the camera can be reviewed in the below link. http://service.us.panasonic.com/OPERMANPDF/DMCFZ70.PDF#page=10

besides the camera, you get the battery, battery charger, long wire for battery charger, plug for battery charger[you won't need the long wire to charge the battery],camera strap,usb wire,manual, warranty papers, i think the viewfinder blind. by the way, this is the best camera i have ever owned.

No, unfortunately it does not..Just the LCD screen which makes it hard to see in bright light. I do have the Canon sx30IS that has the viewfinder, + reticulating LCD screen. Only problem is it is a lot heavier than this xs500is.
