Pocket Point and Shoot With Viewfinder.
Oct 24, 2017 13:27:28 #
I have a Canon Powershot SD 980 IS which takes great pictures and fits easily in my shirt pocket. Both my wife and I wear transitions lenses in our eyeglasses and on a sunny day it is almost impossible to see the image on the LCD screen. Can anyone suggest a point and shoot camera with a viewfinder in the $300-$400 range which will fit into a shirt pocket? Thanks.

My wife has a Panasonic ZS100. It is more than you say you want to spend, but you should try it. It has a viewfinder and we both wear transition lens glasses.

I also have this camera. It has a digital viewfinder. It won't quite fit in a shirt pocket, but it's pretty compact.

You might try Keh Camera for an Olympus XZ-1 or XZ-2 with a VF-2, VF-3, or VF-4. The viewfinder would probably have to be removed to put into your pocket, but I consider it a minor inconvenience. Also, be sure to get the barndoor lense cover.

If you want to spend just around $100 for a used, discontinued, Canon A1400 on ebay, check it out. It is a basic camera, very small, 16mp, viewfinder, that actually takes really good pictures. It can easily fit in a shirt pocket and uses two AAs for power. Comes black and chrome. A1300 is an older model which is just as good. Bob

Look around for gently used Canon Elphs. Fits into shirt pocket and takes good pics.I still use mine occasionally. Lots of variations of the elph.

I recently purchased a Sony HX90 V for a travel camera. I wanted one with a view finder and GPS. I did a lot of research and selected this one. Great photos, pocket size, and zoom. I got it from Focus Camera, they had the best price. I think it is in your price range.

BTW. Be sure if you order you get the “V” that is the view finder. I think the same model comes without the view finder.
