Content preview from Digital Photography: The Missing Manual

Optical Viewfinder

Every year, digital camera screens get bigger. That’s a welcome trend, because framing your photos and, later, showing them off to other people is a heck of a lot more satisfying when they’re bigger than a postage stamp.

These days, though, some screens fill the whole back of the camera—and leave no room for an optical viewfinder (the little glass hole you can peek through). Plenty of people are perfectly happy composing their shots on the screen, but remember that holding a camera up to your face helps to brace it, reducing the likelihood of little jiggles that blur the photo. Without an optical viewfinder, you’re forced to hold out the camera nearly at arm’s length.
