Default Re: Kodak EasyShare CX7530

Your Kodak has an optical viewfinder that only covers approx. 82% of the actual image that is saved. It takes some getting used to interpolating the field of view in the viewfinder. But, because I grew up with cameras that only had a viewfinder its natural for me to frame a shot with it instead of using the LCD. All in what you prefer.
I try to photograph birds in flight sometimes and find that a good viewfinder is the only instrument suitable for action shots. I have several cameras with (EVF) electronic view finders that are not optical but simply mimic what you have on the LCD. I find it impossible to use this type of viewfinder photographing birds in flight, just too slow in reaction timing., they won't follow action very well. To fully appreciate a good optical viewfinder pick up an older 35 mm camera and observe the view through the viewfinder, 100% field of view and chrystal clear.
