Does this camera have a through the lens (SLR) type viewer or just the video screen kind?

Like most digital cameras, it only has the video screen. Usually that feature is sufficient, but it can be a problem when taking pictures in bright sunlight.

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

No, the camera just has the viewing screen. What looks like a view finder iis the flip up flash. All in all, it is an excellent multi-function camera for everyday or vacation use.

Yes, it does, not sure what type as I don't use that feature. I'd look at it now but I only see the camera on weekends.

Yes, the camera has a touch screen. Love the camera, but touch screen can be a nuisance at times.

It's just Video. There's no viewfinder to set up any stills. We only used it during snorkeling, but were happy with the results.

Only some special purpose cameras do not have viewfinders at all. These are, for example, web cameras and video surveillance cameras. They use external monitors as their viewfinders.To better explain the answer I will guess you are asking about an optical viewfinder and not an electronic one.To which the answer would be; No it doesn't have an optical viewfinder.However, it does have an electronic viewfinder; the LCD screen. In addition to its primary purpose, the LCD screen; an electronic viewfinder, can be used to replay previously captured material, and as an on-screen display to browse through menus.

Yes it does have a camera but the screen is small. I mainly use it for the phone and texting really.

Is just a regular lens, btw it does take very good videos, but using it for taking pictures its a little difficult, they are blurred almost always.

No unfortunately not, but the quality is decent enough for you to screen grab stills from the video. Hope that helps.

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.

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

in the back top of the camera is a viewfinder for your eye, which can be adjusted for your vision with a small stub. When the screen is open, one can view the scene you are trying to video. The minus thing of this camera is all the controls is on the viewscreen on serveral pages. Constant useage of if with eventually wear out view screen....it has happened to me. Otherwise, it is an excellent video camera with clear videos!

Yes, it does. This is a fabulous camera! The sound quality for videos is excellent and blurry photos come out clear! I love it! Highly recommended!!

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 it has a small view screen. The photos look blurry on the screen but once uploaded to a computer they are actually great quality.

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.
