Does this camera have a viewfinder?

It does have the viewfinder, however, it works the same way as the large touchscreen viewer (menu options, etc) appear on the viewfinder screen. There's a button to push to switch between the screen and viewfinder.

Yes Sometimes when I use the long zoom, I use the viewfinder against my face just to steady the camera. Great camera.

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.

Correct there is no viewfinder. I didn't have much trouble with the screen in bright sunlight. Took the camera to Cabo San Lucas for vacation and it worked great. And I should add that it will depend somewhat on how sensitive your eyes are in the sun and if you are wearing sunglasses. I had sunglasses with a medium tint. I didn't find it to be an issue like it is on a lot of smart phones.

The camera does not have a viewfinder. You can adjust the LCD screen brightness, though.

No, the camera just has the viewing screen. What looks like a view finder iis the flip up flash. All in all, it is an excellent multi-function camera for everyday or vacation use.

Yes it does. I own this camera and use the eyepiece viewfinder when the LCD screen is hard to see in the sunlight

There is no eye viewfinder, you need to compose on the screen on the back of the camera body. Other than this limitation, the camera is brilliant.

Yes it does. It's a great camera in a small package. Make sure you read the manual and practice. It does a lot more. Great camera!

Yes. The viewfinder is great when you are taking pix in very bright sunllight conditions and the display gets "washed out" and slmost impossible to see.

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.

Not to my knowledge - I don't know how else to access settings. There is no viewfinder.

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.

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.

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.
