No it has a flat screen and you hold it away from your face and center the shot. The screen is bright.

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.

no optical viewfinder. I did not work in the bright sunlight for me. You might try another unit for outside use. even one that has a greater range. Or possibly some kind of reflective plate so you can see the dot. The last Outside measurement I did was at twilight.

All of Olympus' viewfinders work. I have the vf2. The vf1 is not much of a viewfinder as it is only for one lens and is optical, unable to adjust to different lenses. The others are electronic and show the same as the screen. Given the choice and considering what I have already spent, I would probably choose to spend the extra money for the Panasonic GX7, which has a built in viewfinder and flash and has integrated wifi while retaining the hot shoe, but I still love the pm2.

Yes, it comes with a viewfinder, quite a nice one, actually. The whole set up was good value, for the money.

No, it doesn't, but that's about the only optional setting not offered. It's a very well designed compact camera with a great lens. My only complaint is the lack of an optical viewfinder, ..but that's my issue with all these "pocketable" models.

It has two viewfinders, screen on the back that pivots (great for selfies) and an eyepiece when it's too bright.I really like this camera.

The view finder is built into the optical system of the camera. You can't see it.

I no longer have this camera because it did not have a viewfinder for seeing one's pictures in bright light and I do not remember. The Panasonic Lumix which I have now does have WiFi and GPS, but doesn't allow for non-automatic flash. Nothing has it all.

No,but the whole back of the camera is the viewfinder. Very easy to see the objects.

Yes it does I owned the camera and used the view finder quite frequently, good camera too reasonably fast and takes good pictures with a fast burst mode

Yes!!! In fact, it has a VERY good electronic viewfinder complete with image stabilization, object tracking, and smile and blink detection. For the money, a very good little camera. A little complicated figuring out all of the features at first. Just READ the manual.

Since it has both an LCD and an eye viewer, it functions as a DSLR. However, since it is electronic, the image in the viewfinder may or may not result from a prism. Instead, it may be an electronic image. The other major difference comes from the fact that the lens does not dismount from the body. Instead, it offers the remarkable 30x zoom lens capability that you cannot find in any conventional DSLR at any price. Perhaps this answers your question?

I have two eos cameras and it fits both of them. I think the eos cameras have pretty much a standard viewfinder.

No the camera does NOT come with a view finder. I did find one online for it but it was terrible to use and I sent it back.

It's in the manual but the camera has a setting to override the dof focus etc. In that respect it's not really intuitive.

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