Does it have a viewfinder?

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!

Yes, indeed, it does have a viewfinder. That is exactly why I bought this camera. Most digital cameras today use a LCD screen and have no viewfinder. In bright daylight, LCD screens are hard to when and impossible if you are looking toward the sky like photographing birds, airplanes, etc. This camera has a button that activates the viewfinder and shuts down the LCD screen. It works quite well.

Yes, and that's why I chose it over several other models. Most of my photos are outdoors.

No, but better, you can see and adjust your image on the large back panel.Monica

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

It does, but it's digital. When you look in the viewfinder your looking at a small screen inside the viewfinder.

Yes, it does have a "live view". Here is short video about the feature: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0tlnT0zCfY

Yes!!! In fact, it has a VERY good electronic viewfinder complete with image stabilization, object tracking, and smile and blink detection. For the money, a very good little camera. A little complicated figuring out all of the features at first. Just READ the manual.

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.

It has two viewfinders, screen on the back that pivots (great for selfies) and an eyepiece when it's too bright.I really like this camera.

Yes it does. It's a great camera in a small package. Make sure you read the manual and practice. It does a lot more. Great camera!

No, it does not. There is, however, a socket to connect an optional LCD viewfinder.

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.

Yes. There is a view-finder on the camera. To use it, just press the little button right next to it and the LED screen goes off and you view through the finder.

If the screen on the back that shows what the picture will be qualifies as a viewfinder, then, yes. By the way, my wife and I are very happy with this camera.

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 !

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

No, it does not. It only adjusts a little bit to help see the viewfinder while holding the camera up high or down low.

No, it doesn't have a viewfinder, sorry. You can find the FZ70 by Panasonic with a viewfinder, and a much stronger zoom.
