Does anyone know the difference between this version and this one: VF-3 Swivi Universal LCD View Finder for DSLR

Hey Michael, I compared the two but wasn't able to notice any difference. I have the version II and it works great. For the record, I've used the Z finder and this one is on par with it. I'm assuming that the new one has some minor fixes or changes, but I can't really tell the difference. Best of luck!

They look like the same piece, I have the one and would not give it up for the world. It's like using a older video camera with the big eye cup, very comfortable and I have it on a Panasonic FZ-2000

Far as I can tell it's the same model. I think they're both made by a company called swivy. Carey speed has a good brand name but overpriced. They have a vf4 that is more compact and exposes the slr buttons better but is way overpriced IMO. My ggs works just fine. I took it to mt Everest and it was terrific and didn't break. Only lost a screw tho. Make sure those are dialed in good

There is only the LCD viewfinder. In the conditions of higher backlight - often what is sought to illuminate the subject - it is too washed out to accurately compose the pic. I understand this to be a universal complaint with LCD-only finders.

I was worried about not having a view-finder on my digital camera when I first switched to the Nikon l1. And really, it hasnt bothered me at all. You can always adjust the brightness of the screen so you can see the image and its got a matte not glossy screen so you are not reflected in the image. I've had to buy a new camera since mine got stolen, and I find that the swivel abilties of the s10 will come very handy if you are concerned with the LCD screen.

The difference is the LCD screen has a 360 tilt making it so you can see yourself while you shoot. It is very convenient and easy to use!

Hi, I checked-mine was a blue V2, the design looks a bit different than the V4, but I couldn't really say what the difference is.I can tell you I still use it at a follow focus on my Sony F3. It works great.Nice solid construction, adjustable start and stop points.

I shoot with a 70-D and yes it shows up on the info in the camera, in the view finder and the LCD screen.

Allana you can contact CobyUSA.com/technicianssupport Maybe you can find a manual there. This model is extinct. But it is similar to the Coby TFDVD-1595. There is a manual for that out there. http://www.manualowl.com/swfviewer/viewer.php?FitPageOnLoad=false&SwfFile=%2Fmanualswf%2Ephp%3Fid%3D185330%26manual%5Ftype%3Dproduct%26d%3D5de0130289e28d40e13b9300f3f36761&FullScreenAsMaxWindow=true&ViewModeToolsVisible=true&FitWidthOnLoad=true&Scale=0%2E6&SearchToolsVisible=true&ZoomTransition=easeOut&localeChain=en%5FUS&ZoomToolsVisible=true&ZoomTime=0%2E5&NavToolsVisible=true&ProgressiveLoading=true&ZoomInterval=0%2E1&CursorToolsVisible=trueCursorToolsVisible=true&FullScreenAsMaxWindow=true&ZoomInterval=0%2E1&localeChain=en%5FUS&ViewModeToolsVisible=true&ZoomToolsVisible=true&FitWidthOnLoad=true&ZoomTime=0%2E5&Scale=0%2E6&FitPageOnLoad=false&NavToolsVisible=true&SearchToolsVisible=true&SwfFile=%2Fmanualswf%2Ephp%3Fid%3D185330%26manual%5Ftype%3Dproduct%26d%3D5de0130289e28d40e13b9300f3f36761&ProgressiveLoading=true&ZoomTransition=easeOut

Yes it does. I bought it because of the view finder, but I am finding that the LED Screen is so sharp I rarely have to use the viewfinder even in bright conditions.

Hello D. DiMichele,Thanks for your post. I agree that the viewfinder is very helpful even with a LCD screen. The extra money is worth it.

I never compared the two versions, I used the first edition only because it's more compact, light, less expensive, has built in shade what I really like. I use only on Fuji cameras without worries. I heard the version two also have purple fringing issues with some cameras but visible only on large images, also fringing is easy to fix with the latest softwares like Lightroom. I shoot almost exclusively B&W; so color fringing don't bother me so much. V2 might be more corrected but I can't tell.

Biggest differences is TZ3 is smaller, has a wider wide angle(NICE), a 3 instead of 2 1/2 LCD, more LCD pixels for brighter LCD screen in daylight, and self-closing lens cover(no manual cap). You will lose zoom capability during movie mode in the TZ3 however. Those familiar with both say TZ3 seems to produce better pictures. You can compare camera model specs side by side at DPReview.com. On left panel select BUYING GUIDE, then SIDE BY SIDE, then pick camera mfgs and models you want to compare from list and ADD. Up to five models will show side by side in one pane.

I am using the Vivitar version of this and as far as I can see, there is no difference other than the price. I have not only mounted this on a tripod, but also a monopod.

No it does not. You will see that you don't need an optical view finder. The LCD screen is very accurate. The great thing about this model is the image sensor, it is EXCELLENT. That's why its $250 and worth it. The new models use a cheaper sensor and that model is $150. Google it !

There are no electronic view finders for it. There is a Samsung EVF but it is only for older models.

I think the difference is in the lens. In the V-lux 3, the aperture narrows as focal length increases. In the 4, I believe it remains at the set value. I haven't found the change in aperture to be a problem. The Leica website will confirm this, if I am right.

Yes, I bought one and it works fine. It does not show up on the view finder.Bob
