Needing a point and shoot with viewfinder
Nov 27, 2017 13:29:51 #
I have a Kodak Z981 point and shoot. It has a very accurate auto focus, 14 MP, 25X zoom, panorama and pleasing
video. I dropped several times without damage until the last time when I broke the battery latch. The batteries won't
stay put and I haven't come up with an effective repair, however I bought the 5 volt DC power supply and I can still
use it for forever video and stills...and better still, it has a view finder!!

I have 2 suggestions. 1. Clearviewer is a small lens that screws into the tripod socket and gives an eye level viewer for a point and shoot. You can look it up on line www.clearviewer.com
very nice guy and he will answer your questions. Inexpensive around $60.
2. The best of the point and shoots s the Lumix L100. Uses M43 sensor and has excellent lens. Not a long telephoto but lens is Leica and very high quality.
Good Luck,
Hal

The solution lies in both the hardware and technique - making buddies with the subject(s) is always a great idea.

I am just going to suggest as I don't know the camera, but not clicking the exposure button quickly but rather allowing the camera time to focus may be the problem. My camera needs just a moment at half-way pushed down to focus. Not a great deal of time, just a pause when pushing.

If by viewfinder, you mean optical viewfinder you might be out of luck for new. I gather frim other posts on UHH that the manufacturers have gotten away from OVFs, especially on the low cost P&S cameras. So you might have to look into older gear. A relative suggested a Canon Powershot A1200 but all I could find was the A1400. I got mine as a refurb from Canon for less than $100. It is small, 3 1/2 by 2 1/2, but uses 2 AA batteries. Its lens is a 5x zoom, 5 mm - 25 mm, f2.8 - f6.9. Given its size it might get lost in his hunting garb big pockets build for small game.

Using the RX100 the OP husband would have to leave his post and come close to the deer.

My suggestion: cellphone. I have a Galaxy 6, works great for a P&S when I'm too lazy to change settings, gets pretty clear photos, very portable. Plus he can call you when he falls out the tree.

My point & shooter is a Nikon P7800 with an electronic viewfinder and that's what I use from my tree stand unless I'm going to skip hunting and just go for photos.

Cindy,
I am quite happy with my Canon Powershot G5X. It is a 1" sensor camera, small and pocketable (even more so than my mirrorless -- more because the Canon zoom collapses when camera is turned off). G5X is probably going to have a mark ii version soon, so please do not rush out to buy the current version

True if shooting in RAW, but in JPG the zoom is outstanding. For M5 version, the zoom is 280mm.

How badly does the image quality degrade using digital zoom out to 280mm on the RX100v?
