Buy a Nikon 300 SLR their Coolpix cameras are junk. I've used Nikons since 1968 and their SLR's are the best. I tried a Coolpix a few years ago and it took a color shift to purple and Nikon would do nothing about it. I still buy Nikon and always will but never again for a pocket camera. Try another Brand or buy a reasonable 35 SLR. That would be my advice.

Yes. There is a viewfinder on the camera. There is a button to the left of the camera to switch it from LCD to the viewfinder. I hope this helps!

Yea there is. You can take pics through the peephole. I prefer taking pics using that. I think it's abbreviated on my cam as Disp, not sure.

You can see what is on the LCD screen but it is fuzzy, not clear. Not recommended. I have used mine to put a slide in it that I want to make a digital photo and put it up the the camera on the computer or Iphone and take a photo. Not perfect but workable.

Just received my Fuji Xp10. I'm finding the LCD display is not clear...there are lines running through the display making it difficult to see. When I take a picture and take the memory card out, the actual picture is clear...it is just the LCD. Are all Fuji XP10s like this, or did I get a bad one?

I've only had the camera since the beginning of december, so I haven't used it in a lot if sunlight. However, the shots that I did take outside, I was definitely able to see the screen. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

Yes the LCD gives a live view so it works very well as a viewfinder. In other cameras I really preferred the small viewfinder but on this camera the LCD works so well I almost never use the small viewfinder. The screen flips up and down (both for still images and video) but it does not flip out to the side and it does not rotate.

There is only the LCD viewfinder. In the conditions of higher backlight - often what is sought to illuminate the subject - it is too washed out to accurately compose the pic. I understand this to be a universal complaint with LCD-only finders.

I don't know. I am Nikon. But the specs should tell you. Sorry. Measure the size of your LCD screen, that is the answer because most of the time you just hold it over so you can see in bright light.

I'm not sur exactly about the types of light, but even in a sunny day, you see perfectly pictures or anything on you screen. For taking pictures, it's the best, you actually see what you're taking a picture of!

Love the camera, but you can't see in bright sunlight. You need a camera with an eyepiece for viewing in sunlight. Fuji makes this model also.

I bought a G9 earlier at a local store, and had this same problem. On a black or dark screen, there's a big yellowish blob on the lower right portion of the LCD. I tried a second unit and had the exact same screen trouble. I never saw this problem on a camera LCD before, it can't be normal.I got a refund, but I still want a G9. I hope Canon fixes this problem. I'm afraid to buy one right now because of it.Did anyone get a G9 without the LCD light leak? Spicy Tofu, let us know if the next one is the same or not.

I have an SD 800is and really like it. It takes great pictures. I have taken over 1000 during the last year. The wide angle lens is a must have. The LCD display really works good too. One of the reasons I bought it was for the optical view finder. Because the display is so good even on bright days, I have never used it. Older digital cameras with less brightness required the optical view finder. I really don't see much of a reason to for it on the cameras.If I were going to buy another new camera this year I'd get the SD 870is. It is a newer design and has some improvements. I think you should by the best camera you can. If dpreview thinks it's a better camera, I'd bet that it really is. I have an SD 800is and really like it. It takes great pictures.

i currently researching, and the. a77 lcd screen has more swivel options, so u can have the screen face the viewer.

Hey Joyce. The duel view screen is referencing the two LCD screens on the camera. There is one on the back, just like most point and shoot cameras, but there is also a smaller one on the front of the camera. By pressing a button on the top of the camera, the view switches to the front LCD. This makes taking "selfies" a snap! I hope that helps. Good luck and Merry Christmas!

Hello D. DiMichele,Thanks for your post. I agree that the viewfinder is very helpful even with a LCD screen. The extra money is worth it.

Depends how "strong" the sunlight . . . . I have used mine with direct sun on the LCD and it is clearly visible by adjusting the LCD brightness to +5 (use Q menu button then icon on bottom right for screen brightness, adjustable -5 to +5). Having said that I am not sure that would still be the case under mid-day lighting close to the Equator, I was shooting in the UK early morning in May.

The lack of viewfinder is not a "curious omission" but instead allows the existence of the very large 3 inch LCD.Cameras with a viewfinder have smaller 2.5 inch LCDs.
