does it have a built in viewfinder

Yes, you can choose either viewfinder, or the big display on back... that helps in bright light situations
1000713
Yes. Two viewing options to choose. There is a button on top that switches from viewfinder to the three inch monitor
1000714
yes-looking down on the camera you should see a switch called Finder/Monitor below the power switch

yes it has an electronic viewfinder which is a digital screen in a dark box I feel it works well and helps conserve batteries

It comes with the viewfinder. One caution. The screws that come with it are too long for most doors so you will have to get your own screws or cut down the ones that come with it.

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

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.

Yes!!! In fact, it has a VERY good electronic viewfinder complete with image stabilization, object tracking, and smile and blink detection. For the money, a very good little camera. A little complicated figuring out all of the features at first. Just READ the manual.

I don't have this item, but if you keep reading through the Q&A;, you will see it has been answered a couple of times. Yes it does have a built in camera, and mic. Also, even though this is not a 100% guarantee, if you look closely, the picture shows a camera in the middle, above the screen.

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

It has a viewfinder. As mentioned below this is an old model and there are newer ones from both Sony and Canon that have viewfinders. I have been very happy with my HRD-CX550V. It was logical choice when I bought it 3 years ago for a quality camcorder with a large amount of internal flash and SD card storage. While most current Sony and Canon have less internal flash, they do accept the largest capacity SDXC cards that are available in larger capacities than this model. I considered having a viewfinder important and still do because of difficulty seeing a pop out screen in bright light.

Sorry no viewfinder. But the camera is great even without the viewfinder. Has a grid setting on the LCD screen and has stabilization. The 20x zoom is awesome. I now take this camera on vacation instead of my expensive Nikon.

I do not know enough about cameras to know if it has a viewfinder, but I am VERY pleased with the clarity of the pictures. I bought it for a trip to Europe, and the pictures I got were great!

Unfortunately, it does not. I once had a digital camera with both a view finder and a screen, but have been unsuccessful in finding a new one.I hope this helps.

It doesn't come with a viewfinder, no - but there are two available optical viewfinder from Ricoh for it, as well a few other aftermarket viewfinders that will work well to varying degrees.Model GV-1 is the most popular.

No it does not have a view finder but the LCD screen seems really reliable so far.

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.

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 the camera does not have a built in view finder, you have to take the SD card out to watch the images/videos from a SD player, or hook up the camera with a PC or Mac.
