Does this camera have an optical viewfinder besides the LCD screen?

You are welcome! If you get this camera, you will not be disappointed; mine has plenty of dents and dings, especially from canoeing the Boundary Waters.

No, but unless you have a visual impairment, you will be happy with it. The camera takes fantastic quality pictures! It has done well for me over the entire USA as well as for "Family" shots.

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 !

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.

Sorry no viewfinder. But the camera is great even without the viewfinder. Has a grid setting on the LCD screen and has stabilization. The 20x zoom is awesome. I now take this camera on vacation instead of my expensive Nikon.

Yes it does. I own this camera and use the eyepiece viewfinder when the LCD screen is hard to see in the sunlight

No. Most cameras in this class do not have a viewfinder. The S120 I purchased doesn't either. You must use the LCD panel on the back of the camera.

No, it just has the LCD display. Great little point and shoot, though. The wifi is fantastic, downloads are quick and simple.

Yes it does have a view finder. I really like having the option of the view finder or screen.

No. But it displays a flashy screen. This way I know when the camera is out of range.

Yes, there is a screen. There is also a view finder if you prefer to hold the camera close to your eye to select the view of the picture you will take.

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.

It has a "through lens" as well as the video screen. I can NOT use a camera that doesn't have the "through lens".

Yes it does. I bought it because of the view finder, but I am finding that the LED Screen is so sharp I rarely have to use the viewfinder even in bright conditions.

Unfortunately, it does not. I once had a digital camera with both a view finder and a screen, but have been unsuccessful in finding a new one. I hope this helps.

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, it has an optical view finder, which I prefer to framing an image in the LCD screen -- even though the VF shows only about 93% of the area.
