does it have a view finder?

yes, the Canon PowerShot A1300 has an optical viewfinder, as well as the LCD screen, so you can line-up your shots either way you prefer. And, the viewfinder "zooms" with the optical zoom lens on the camera.

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.

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.

No, but it has many positions for landscape viewing, its real selling point, I believe...at least for me. Love it!

Yes, but it does not infer with view. However I stopped using mine and my screen stays clean, without keyboard marks.

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

It has BOTH a viewfinder or you can use the display in the back of the camera. I am like you, I don't like using the display. The viewfinder is excellent. There is a switch on the top of the camera that lets you choose which viewing system you prefer and it defaults it until you change it.

viewfinder is not great, but yes you can get a general idea...don't expect high clarity

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.

yes (sort of) when you push the top button in the back panel, the image in the lcd screen appear in the viewfinder (you cannot use the screen and the view finder at the same time) http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41bm6MxOcaL.jpg in this picture you can look the camera`s back panel

Correct there is no viewfinder. I didn't have much trouble with the screen in bright sunlight. Took the camera to Cabo San Lucas for vacation and it worked great. And I should add that it will depend somewhat on how sensitive your eyes are in the sun and if you are wearing sunglasses. I had sunglasses with a medium tint. I didn't find it to be an issue like it is on a lot of smart phones.

Yes it has a viewfinder. It works quite well except the diopter adjustment doesn't go quite far enough for my glasses. Then again, my glasses are pretty strong!

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.

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

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.

For basic point and click yes, but the buttons are small and hard to read and the screen is only 1 1/2 x 2 inches. It also does not have a viewfinder, you have to depend on the screen.
