Canon Ixus 75

Best Price: $435.00

from www.bestbuy.com
it is the perfect camera for me: size and weight were key, the 3" lcd screen makes it very easy for me to see what i am doing, and it is extremely user friendly.
from sol, www.circuitcity.com
the only camera in stock anywhere with comparable overall quality (i spent 2 days reading camera reviews before purchasing) is the sx100, which sells for at least $70 more and has no viewfinder.
from www.pcnation.com
it is small enough to carry in my purse or pocket and i love the 3" lcd.
from www.amazon.com
the camera is very thin and elegant and it's lcd is quite big and clear to preview the photos you have taken.
from www.amazon.com
it's quick to take pictures, the lcd screen on the camera is huge and gorgeous, it's comfortable to hold, and overall hasn't given us a moment of doubt or regret.

from Computer Guy, www.newegg.com
the main selling point for me was the lack of the useless optical viewfinder (that little window on the camera that you can look through if for some insane reason you don't want to use the lcd).
from www.amazon.com
(is that a word?) there will never be a need for a peephole viewfinder (which this camera lacks).
from www.amazon.com
love the big lcd and the small size of the camera.

Nikon D40

i always leave the camera with the power switch on when i have it with me as it doesnt consume power until you are shooting or using the lcd monitor.
from www.onsale.com
don't know how easy it is to control, but a nice feature, nonetheless.lcd screen is huge, bright, and clear.
from www1.wolfcamera.com
the viewfinder is bigger and brighter so that is even better than the d70 in some ways i feel that the d40 is an upgrade to not only the d50 that it is replacing but also the d70 series as well.
from www1.wolfcamera.com
everyone on the trip loved the ease of using it and the results we saw in the lcd screen.
from www1.wolfcamera.com
the size is great, the 2.5" lcd is beautiful, the cache allows the camera to shoot better than 2 frames / second even with a cheap (normal speed) sd card.

i found the adjustable (tiltable) lcd screen a big help in shooting kids at their level...along with other low lying objects.

live view lcd....a must have feature for thos graduating from point and shoot digital cameras
from www.amazon.com
the tilting lcd screen is added from the a200, and makes it a bit thicker at the back.

i like the tilt lcd but i wish it would articulate like some point and shoot cameras to be able to avoid glare from direct sun.

from www.amazon.com
-the lcd is something i consider to be ancillary and wasn't a factor in choosing this camera, but, for those who are interested, it is big, bright and seems to perform well outdoors.
from www.amazon.com
the only negatives i have found with this camera in the short time i've owned it is getting used to removing the lens cap before powering up, and i have noticed a light line show up across the lcd
from www.amazon.com
i compared many super-zooms and selected this camera based on many aspects, but the fact that it had a viewfinder in addition to the lcd screen was only a minor factor in my thinking.
from www.amazon.com
this camera has both an evf/lcd for viewing which works great, with an adjustment for eyesight clarity.

first, ''it is too bulky.'' it is bulky because it contains a 12x optical zoom, the flip out lcd, and a large imaging chip.

the swiveling lcd screen and a viewfinder are big pluses, and it accepts the new sdhc media cards for fast shooting.
