Does it have a view finder?

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

The view finder is usable but the con to using the view finder is that the picture ratio is very small looking through the view finder.

viewfinder is not great, but yes you can get a general idea...don't expect high clarity

it doesn't have a physical view finder, only digital screen. It has limited storage on board and supports SD cards.

There is no optical view finder and from my experience, that is the biggest flaw with this camera especially for outside sunny days. The LCD screen does tilt and I've had to use that many times to be able to see what I'm trying to capture. Although that does not totally compensate for not having a view finder.

I believe it is. You can look through the view finder. It does take some getting used to.

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 you can use the view finder. Though I find it easier to use the screen.

There is no view finder. The lens is a wide angle type and I've not had any issues with it not picking up a good field of view.

Yes. Two viewing options to choose. There is a button on top that switches from viewfinder to the three inch monitor

yes (sort of) when you push the top button in the back panel, the image in the lcd screen appear in the viewfinder (you cannot use the screen and the view finder at the same time) http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41bm6MxOcaL.jpg in this picture you can look the camera`s back panel

Unfortunately not. It's the one thing I miss, being an old fashioned camera user. I did find that I quickly got used to it though since most do away with the view finder these days for a good screen (this camera has a nice, clear, large one). A little difficult in bright light.

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.

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.
