What kind of viewfinder can you get for it?

There are no electronic view finders for it. There is a Samsung EVF but it is only for older models.

You can buy additional rods at amazon. You also need to get an adjustable Offset Raiser Clamp Z-Shape Clamp Mount Bracket for 15mm Rod in order to see your camera screen without an additional viewfinder.

Unfortunately, viewfinders are almost non-existent in non-slr cameras, including this one. Great camera, but if you're nearsighted or the viewscreen is in bright light the image can be hard to see without glasses or a hood.

No, it doesn't have a viewfinder, sorry. You can find the FZ70 by Panasonic with a viewfinder, and a much stronger zoom.

Yes, and that's one of the reasons I bought it. It comes in handy during very bright days, especially when the sun it at your back and the LCD is "blown out." Also, when you're shooting a low shutter speeds, holding against your face stabilizes it more. The newest COOLPIX elimiated the viewfinder. I think that was a mistake.

Unfortunately I have never received this viewfinder :-( There was some problem with shipment and it was finally returned to the seller.

Hi Mike,I would really go for the viewfinder. I just bought a new camera with no view finder and I dropped it after 3 months (eeek!) and now it still takes pictures but I can't see what I am taking! Also, it is difficult in the sun with no view finder or in the dark. Hope this helps. I need buy a new camera and it will have a viewfinder!

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.

That is correct. the camera does have a viewfinder, which doesn't line up 100%, so I don't often use it.

Look closely at the picture of the view finder. You'll notice a tripod size screw in a metal plate. The slots cut in the metal are for adjustment forward, back and side to side. I use one on my Canon t3i and it's excellent. It's easy to mount and you can fit it to cover the entire screen which makes the screen your view finder for video and easy to see and and use. I've been using mine for several months with excellent results. Remember also it's always best to use manual focus with video along with an VR lens. Good luck

I wondered if there were better LCDs out there for outside photos than on my last two cameras (Fujis). Anyway, I am gravitating toward a slightly larger camera with a nice optical zoom. On the high end, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ35, and on the low end the Fuji S1500. These cameras tend to have viewfinders, but I need to do a lot more research before I make a final decision.

yes, you can view through the viewfinder for those tight shots. it is a very nice camera.

There is no optical viewfinder, you can only shoot by watching at the LCD screen (live-view on DSLR)The battery has quite short life, I strongly suggest to buy extra packages. I bought a Wasabi Power package with 2 batteries and a charger...good deal!

You can buy an optical viewfinder (it's not built-in), and yes, the battery is very easy to get. They have Kodak and Fuji variants even that are exactly the same, as well as third party ones too.

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.

No. There is no live view available. The viewfinder, however, is bright, clear and sharp. I don't miss not having live view.
