in addition to a lcd screen does this also have a viewfinder for sunny conditions?

Yes it does, you can pull it out a few cm so its more comfortable to put your eye up to it, you just can't angle it up and down at all

Yes. That little suction cup at the top right of the photo is the eyepiece. The rubber cup around it prevents stray sunlight interfering with your view, when you hold the VCR up to your eye.

yes, this camera has a small display, and an LED display.An excellent video camera.

This model doesn't have a viewfinder, unfortunately. Just the live view LCD screen.

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

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.

Yes it does, not the best but it works in a pinch. I use the screen most of the time. I think i have used it only one time when the sun was relly intense. If you want to use a view finder most of time, i would recommend trying another camera.

Yes. In bright sunlight I like to fold in the color screen and look through the viewfinder.

There is no optical view finder and from my experience, that is the biggest flaw with this camera especially for outside sunny days. The LCD screen does tilt and I've had to use that many times to be able to see what I'm trying to capture. Although that does not totally compensate for not having a view finder.

No. It has a tilting display that takes up the entire back of the camera. The display is just under 2"x3". The display is better than any others I've had, as far as visibility in sunlight.

yes. it can switch back and forth from screen to viewfinder. very nice feature.

Yes, you can see the screen in bright sun light pretty good - just tried it for you today.

There is no eye viewfinder, you need to compose on the screen on the back of the camera body. Other than this limitation, the camera is brilliant.

I have never even noticed that it doesn't have a viewfinder. I take sunny beach pictures and have never noticed an issue.

Debbie. I haven't used the camera at the beach yet, but I've used the camera in bright sunlight without difficulty (I live in North Carolina which has its fair share of sunshine). You can turn up the brightness of the LCD screen to match the conditions with the minor downside on battery life.

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.

I like having a viewfinder because you can turn off the LCD and greatly extend the battery life.

It has a viewfinder. But it's a digital mini hi-res screen that shows you what the lens sees rather than actually projecting trough the lens via optics. It's a good solution actually.
