does it not have a viewfinder or display screen

This is not a DSLR (or digital single lease refraction) camera, it takes film. It is a regular SLR camera. That means it retracts through the lense to the film exposure location and through the eyepiece. There is no screen to display what the picture will look like.

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.

No.it hasn't and on top of that....it only have a display port not the mini display port...it will be cool to have a device with a display port otherwise you will need to purchase a device to convert other signal from the pc or laptop the screen. ..

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.

Generally NO. It does not come with the display. The tech specs are confusing.No display included.

Nope it doesn't, and it's extremely slow. I had to buy more ram. And it's not touch screen which I initially thought it was.

No it does not. You will see that you don't need an optical view finder. The LCD screen is very accurate. The great thing about this model is the image sensor, it is EXCELLENT. That's why its $250 and worth it. The new models use a cheaper sensor and that model is $150. Google it !

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.

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.

It has a LCD screen that is used as a view finder but it doesn't have a dedicated view finder.

There is no viewfinder on this camera - monitor is big enough so viewfinder not really needed.

We bought it for our grandson last summer, so I'm not positive of the answer, but am pretty sure that there is a viewing screen. He has enjoyed the camera and it is pretty simple to use and has decent resolution for a kids camera.

No. It only has the display. That can be an issue when there iis glare on the display. Especially when you are trying to view a previously taken picture. I still would recommend this camera. It is simple to use and the quality of the pictures are great.

No, but a great PC! Returned the touch screen due bought at best buy due to the horrible quality. Was incredibly dull and couldn't brighten or adjust contrast.

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 you can use the view finder. Though I find it easier to use the screen.
