Best Compact Cameras with Viewfinder

Framing and shooting through a viewfinder allows the photographer to stabilize the camera and reduce the shake since it is closer to the body. Besides, Viewfinders come handy under bright sun light where LCD screens are very hard to read under bright sunlight. With the electronic viewfinders, you can also preview your photos without taking your eye off the camera.

Here we have listed the Best 20 Compact Cameras with Viewfinder sorted by score. Leica Q3 is at the top of our list with a overall Score of 88, followed by Leica Q2 and Fujifilm X100V.
