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

Yes, it does have a camera, but the view finder and camera are on the same side. Great for "selfies", but a bit more difficult for true photo taking.

You can see through the view finder in the sun. You can NOT see the screen however in the sun. The separate view finder makes this camera worth the price. Great camera~!

No it doesn't. But I had no problem using the screen. It's such a compact camera, it almost seems like a hassle to look through a viewfinder.

No the view find is an additional cost when i bought mine.I am forced to the screen on the back. It works great unless your in bright sun light!

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.

You can use the view finder by keeping the screen in the closed position for taking pictures

My wife has the camera now but I believe it does NOT have a regular viewfinder, only an LCD through the lens.

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.

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.

Yes. There is no other lens on the from of the camera from which the viewfinder can get its data. It also follows the zoom. It is generally preferred to eye level finders that have a separate fro lens like on my Canon G-9 for two reasons. One is that it more accurately reflects what you will get and it can also contain information about the camera settings used for the photo.

No...just the LCD screen. This camera is a workhorse, however. Great for what it is.

Yes it does, there is also a 'lock' button to hold the screen in any of the viewing positions.

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

Yes, both the A1200 & the A1300 have viewfinders. In bright sunshine or snow this is a huge benefit. I have one & have given four as gifts.
