How important is the viewfinder on a digital camera?
I’m shopping for a new digital camera, and all the models that interest me have no viewfinder, “LCD only.” This seems like it might be a problem, since if the LCD screen breaks, or there is a glare on the screen, it will be difficult to line up a good shot. How important is the viewfinder on a digital camera, and why do so many compact and subcompact cameras have LCD only, rather than a viewfinder and and LCD like the other cameras I’ve owned? Do you have any suggestions for a good camera under $400 with good shutter lag?
Not important. You will not use it. The only time it may be helpful is when you are outside and the sun is so bright you can’t see your screen really well. My camera does not have one and I am fine with that. The one I have is the Fuji Finepix F20. I did a lot of research and it got really good reviews from professional photographers. It is simple to use and takes great pics and is priced very competitively for all the features.
