If a guy is looking for a camera , is there any need at all for two view finders? A big one and a peep hole conventional type? I understand that the big ones are fine for indoor stuff , but for out doors, ( the one I have currently ) the sun washes out the view so bad ,it gets challenging to get the pic on the first Or second try. If you get a camera with a peep hole is there any reason for a big screen view finder ? Iam talking about point and shoot cameras under $250.00 Safety, Situational Awareness and proficiency.

Yup, there is. I use the viewfinder for many outdoor shots, as you've suggested. But a screen, if it's the tilt-and-swivel kind like our P&S camera has, allows you to get shots you otherwise might not, such as being able to hold the camera well above your head, down low w/o having to actually get on the ground or floor, from right into a tight corner, or around a corner. N.B.: The screen on the back of modern digicams is not, technically, referred-to as a "viewfinder." "America is at that awkward stage.

By "big view finder" I assume you're talking about the LED screen on the back of the camera. My little Nikon L20 has that problem My big Nikon P510 has the LED screen mounted on a hinge so you can angle it. I can usually position it such that I can see the image in any light. Be careful when following the masses. Sometimes the M is silent. | |||

My Sony HX90V camera has both, a pop-up viewfinder for outdoors and a swivel 3" LED in the rear for indoor shots. Both are useful for their intended uses. By the way, I love this camera and find myself using it than my DSLR. Jim ________________________ "If you can't be a good example, then you'll have to be a horrible warning" -Catherine Aird | |||
