It looks like this camera has a viewfinder, is that correct?

Yes, it does and I bought it for that reason, and also usesregular AA batteries, which I find to be a plus! Takes greatpics and the zoom feature is terrific!
739675
That is correct. the camera does have a viewfinder, which doesn't line up 100%, so I don't often use it.
739676
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.
739677
Yes,but the camera is not all it's claimed to be.I wish I would have taken the time to send it back.They make it sound like a good old look,click,and shoot.....not,can be complicated
739678
Yes! That's the main reason I got it, it's great! I tend to be very shaky. Even though I have a really nice camera, every photo I took had a slight blur to them. So frustrating. The viewfinder lets me brace my hands and arms, tuck in my elbows and take a beautiful crisp picture! HIGHLY recommended! (And it was delivered weeks before they promised- added bonus!)
739679
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.
739680
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.
739681
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.
739682
Yes that is correct. I bought this camera for my daughter and had to ask her your question so sorry for the response delay.

I could be wrong, but it sounds like some thing might be dirty... I'm not sure if that camera has a sensor or not..

There is a wheel near the viewfinder with - and + signs. Turn that in either direction to focus the viewfinder while looking in it. :-)

No - it functions as a traditional Polaroid camera would. The viewfinder is your only indication. This camera is meant for fun rather than excellent quality photos. Having said that, my husband is a professional photographer & we love this camera. It's great to leave out at parties.

There is no viewfinder. Only the LCD screen. As a SLR user that bothered me at first. Now I couldn't imagine any other way.

I do not know. I will say I love the camera but would have spent the extra money to have viewfinder if I had it to do again.

One of the "EXPERTS" also commented on the inaccuracy of the viewfinder. I haven't had a chance to use it yet.

Yes, and if you are going to use this camera properly you need to take shots with the view finder and not the LCD. It is an amazing camera. I matched it up with another camera that was 4 times the cost and this camera beat it hands down. Great camera. Best purchase I have made in years.

Hi; do you know that this is an action camera and not a point and shoot? Yet, this camera does have an LCD screen on the right side to view what you are shooting at, but not a typical viewfinder because the camera is designed to be a wearable camera attached to your body or other items. Another description of a viewfinder for this camera is its ability to wirelessly connect to your smartphone-then you are able to see what the camera sees on your smartphone as well as control the camera using the phone. So, this camera goes well beyond the basic "viewfinder" found in "some' point and shoot cameras and "all" DSLR camera. Hope this helps Hi; do you know that this is an action camera and not a point and shoot?

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 a viewfinder but it's electronic, it is a nice one at it. The kit lens is Panasonic, and it performs well, all Leica lenses in m4/3 are Panasonic made under license

Not to my knowledge - I don't know how else to access settings. There is no viewfinder.

It doesn't come with a viewfinder, no - but there are two available optical viewfinder from Ricoh for it, as well a few other aftermarket viewfinders that will work well to varying degrees.Model GV-1 is the most popular.

It costs the same as the kit with the viewfinder, so I'm going to assume it includes it and just return it if it doesn't. :\

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

It has a viewfinder. As mentioned below this is an old model and there are newer ones from both Sony and Canon that have viewfinders. I have been very happy with my HRD-CX550V. It was logical choice when I bought it 3 years ago for a quality camcorder with a large amount of internal flash and SD card storage. While most current Sony and Canon have less internal flash, they do accept the largest capacity SDXC cards that are available in larger capacities than this model. I considered having a viewfinder important and still do because of difficulty seeing a pop out screen in bright light.

Yes, the "viewfinder" is on the back of the camera and is about 2 x 3 inches. It provides a very nice view of the picture you are about to take.
