Does this camera have 2 viewfinders ??? or do you only have the large screen for viewing.

There are 2 ways to view. One is the lcd screen. There is through the lens viewer.

There are two - one LCD, the other you look through. There is a button to switch between them.

It has both an LCD viewer and an electronic viewfinder. There is a button on top that lets you switch between them.

It has 2. but the large one is cool because if you get into a tight position were it is hard to see, the large one tilts.

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

Hello Phileein,Thanks for the input, I ordered the 2 lines kit. I have trouble looking through viewfinders thus my need for live view.I am awaiting my new camera and will do a review after I get itThanks again

I believe it only has the 4-way split screen so even if your only using 2 cameras the 4-way screen still appears and 2 will be blank. You can choose either camera so the whole screen is one camera still but it wont rotate from one to the other like some others will do. I ended up returning this monitor because the picture was sooo bad i couldn't tell where my daughter was in her bed.

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.

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.

No it does not have a view finder but the LCD screen seems really reliable so far.

No, not on this model. But, my wife has an older model that does have a viewfinder,but she only uses it on bright, sunny days when it difficult to see the picture.

Hi... No view finder but the monitor changes into different angles which is nice to have. I got a battery charger with rechargeable batteries & I am enjoying them. Batteries will go a long time if you just take pics. I use the video so they won't last as long but they have lasted long enough for my approval. Hope this helps. mark

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

I only bought this as a replacement camera and never used two cameras at the same time. Sorry to not be of assistance.

This camera DOES HAVE a viewfinder!! Yes, I am frustrated by the new cameras coming out without viewfinders. It is very hard to see those LCD screens when you are taking photos outdoors. I LOVE this camera. I have 5 Nikon Coolpix cameras, and this is the best for its lightness, automatic lens cover, takes fabulous photos and picture perfect videos without the zoom making any noise if you zoom in and out. If I lost this camera, I would replace it with the exact same model.

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.

Ok so the pictures say it has a viewfinder (the little eyehole on the back of the camera for the unintelligent), yet some people are saying it does NOT have one and some people are saying it DOES have one.... how is someone who NEEDS a viewfinder supposed to know whether to purchase this camera or not

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

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.

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.
