Still way to much for a camera for me. A built in viewer is useless to me. Can’t save, poor image viewing to name a few, probably painfully slow to look at thousands of pics. Way to easy these days to load on phones and save and delete with a way bigger screen
I would have agreed with you up till about two years ago when I bought these cameras. I will also say, as good as they are...they are not worth 200 dollars. They are very worth every penny of 75 shipped to my door. Couple reasons I like this view finder....
1. The quality is outstanding and it allows you to zoom in on the pics. Very nice quality and very fast as well. Matter of fact, it will flip through photos way faster than my iphone when it comes to download and then look at. All that being said....no way am I going to look at thousands of pics on the view finder.
2. I use the view finder to check out what has been hitting the camera the few days prior to my arrival. Is it worth sitting in that stand, or do I move on. If the activity is not on that camera at that time, in my case likely due to cougar activity, I just move a couple ridges over.
3. Immediate feedback that the camera is pointed in the area I want it pointed. When I climb a tree I want to know before I leave for a month or two that the picture is framed the way I want it. Set it....walk through the picture frame a couple times....check it....adjust or leave it based on the picture.
4. I always take in extra SD cards to switch out...but I like having the ability to check what has been moving around at the moment I'm climbing into my stand.
Again....this view finder is second to none. I have purchased cheap view finders for SD cards and all of them have been garbage....this is in a different class.
But...to each their own. There are 10,000 ways to skin a cat and this is just one of them.
