Does it have a Physical view finder

Yes. In bright sunlight I like to fold in the color screen and look through the viewfinder.
2038624
Yes it does. I own this camera and use the eyepiece viewfinder when the LCD screen is hard to see in the sunlight

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 does not electronic screen only. Don't think this is a drawback. The screen pivots so you can hold it at various angles overhead below waist and plainly see what you are photographing.

The VIXIA HF M41 has the separate viewfinder as well as an LCD screen. The VIXIA HF M40 does not have a physical optical viewfinder - it has only an LCD screen.

Ok so the pictures say it has a viewfinder (the little eyehole on the back of the camera for the unintelligent), yet some people are saying it does NOT have one and some people are saying it DOES have one.... how is someone who NEEDS a viewfinder supposed to know whether to purchase this camera or not

no view finder, AA batteries life is depend on how many pictures with flash and how much review of taken pictures and how much zoom you do with the camera

Yes but 85 % of the actual image. Not electronic viewer, it is optical with info projection in viewfinder. Not used for focusing but used for composing the image. Not crazy about composing using the LCD screen. Feels like my old range finder 40 years ago.

Yes, it comes with a viewfinder, quite a nice one, actually. The whole set up was good value, for the money.

No. The view finder has a small LCD screen and shown the image that will be saver. This is a must for taking photos outside in the sun. I use it ALL the time, but it will not flip around. Not for this price

No it does not ive found view finders more frequent on sony and the waterproof rugged cameras or the slr/xlr

It does BUT the size of the screen is so much smaller that only a few streets will show up on the screen for you to view. You can zoom out, but when you do you will lose a lot of the detail you are probably hoping to see.

No, it does not. There is, however, a socket to connect an optional LCD viewfinder.
875089
yes it does. You have to be at right angle to see screen, looking pretty straight on.

No it does not. Someone looking from above will be able to view what is on screen. It only works if viewing from the side.

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

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 !

It has both an LCD viewer and an electronic viewfinder. There is a button on top that lets you switch between them.

No,but the whole back of the camera is the viewfinder. Very easy to see the objects.

the screen on the back of the camera IS your view finder. It does not have the small window view finder that the old film type cameras had

Yes it does have the side finder option along with regular verticle viewing, for a small unit works real well.

No view finder but an estimated eye site average; standing in line with lens from behind this item; surely helps with placement. viewing footage afterwards is done with flash drive and computer
