Does this have much glare when taking pictures? I notice there is no view finder.

It takes very good pictures without the finder, what it doesn't have is night vision, but is so easy to carry on that it worth it.

Normally it does not but I have to admit on a recent trip to San Diego I was taking photographs during the day and the sun was very bright and I almost couldn't see the display/screen because of the glare. On the flip side it took amazing pictures and the outdoor videos came out fantastic. You can actually use the zoom while recording a video.

The 'glare" is rather substantial in certain light conditions. I did find an anti-glare screen overlay by Vikuiti ( sic ) available via Amazon which is of some benefit. Love this camera.

I don't have any problems with glare, it is not a glossy screen, it is more of the soft matte finish.

No it does not have a view finder. So far I have not found that to be a problem.

The "glare" (or reflection) is pretty minimal unless the room you're viewing it in is super-bright (as in tons of artificial lighting) or extremely sunny (as in a wall of windows with direct sunlight coming through it). Otherwise it's not a big deal. You can deal with it simply enough by adjusting the screen brightness in the display menu, or pull the curtains or shades closed. Considering the quality of the picture and the price it's no big deal to live with.

I've had this screen protector for some time now and have not noticed a glare. But I must say I've only used it indoors and have not used it outdoors. Hope this helps you.

You could probably change the ISO/shutter/aperture settings to compensate for low lighting, but I usually set it to Auto mode, and I feel it's not bad. I can still see relatively well although it's rather noisy/fuzzy (it hardly bothers me, but I usually try to avoid low lighting anyways).

To be honest, I'm not too sure. I can tell you that when I put my screen cover on, I did notice the screen having a slight fog filter to it. That probably has to with the anti glare part.

No the camera does NOT come with a view finder. I did find one online for it but it was terrible to use and I sent it back.

Yes, there is glare, but I tell you what, the plasma picture is a superior picture, darker darks and I found a way to reduce the reflection. Too bad they are stopping production of them.

I'm not going to lie, I never really had a glare problem before. The backlighting on my tablet off-set any surface glare I had. It definitely doesn't make it worse!

I did not observe the same. Although i remember reading about people complaints that magnetic field of the frame is too strong and it affects focusing. Frankly I have not been using it much because if you need to keep you camera in a case it is very inconvenient to remove and attach the Viewfinder every now and then.

Hi Jim To answer your question this camera does not have a view finder. I thought I would never be able to live without a view finder. But what it offers is so much better. It has about a 3 inch square view screen. I have the camera about 3 months now and it takes the best photos and I use it for close up photos that need to show detail. I use it for taking photos of things I sell on ebay. It does a great job. It was easy to use and alot easier to operate than my Sony. More user friendly and I am not a computer person. I take about 150 photos each week and this camera does it very well. One more thing the battery life is great. I must take more than 200 photos on a charge without flash... I hope this helps.... Ben

To me...it's no glare. I have it sitting inside a cabinet so I suppose this could affect it, but I have had no issues at all with glare. Hope this helps.

There is no view finder. The lens is a wide angle type and I've not had any issues with it not picking up a good field of view.

As far as I can tell, it's just a mirror. But I also haven't noticed a problem with glare. Wish I could give a more informed answer.

The glare is no more than any other digital camera with an LCD on the back. And, being so small it is very easy to shade the camera with one hand. something not as easy with a larger camera. It's really no problem.
