does this camera have a viewfinder?

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.

It has a LCD screen that is used as a view finder but it doesn't have a dedicated view finder.

Unfortunately, viewfinders are almost non-existent in non-slr cameras, including this one. Great camera, but if you're nearsighted or the viewscreen is in bright light the image can be hard to see without glasses or a hood.

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.

The viewfinder is very small, I've gotten in the habit of not using it. Haven't used it for either bright sunlight or actions. However, it is one of the few cameras in this class with a viewfinder, and I am glad to have it. One of the reasons why this camera appealed to me. Will check these two conditions. I am extremely satisfied with the camera so far.

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.

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!

Yes it does and that was one of the main reasons I purchased. A viewfinder is great when shooting in bright sun and a reflective background like a beach.

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.

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.

This model doesn't have a viewfinder, unfortunately. Just the live view LCD screen.

I guess I am not able to answer, but I did find a site from which to download the latest updates to my camera and the viewfinder works great.

Hi, well this is old-school camera, and the viewfinder is only a square little frame that you have to pull up from the top of the cameraI hope this helps. My daugther played with this for minutes, now I now I should have bought a digital one :) kids are just on other level these days

Yes it does which is exactly why I bought it. The viewfinder also zooms in and out; an unexpected bonus. We have used it for months now and like it. There is a delay if you want rapid repeat picture taking, but we do not. Also indoor pictures can be a little grainy. Overall, it is a good camera.

That is correct. the camera does have a viewfinder, which doesn't line up 100%, so I don't often use it.

No,but it has the longer zoom of the 4000 series .A good camera for the price.
