Default Re: viewfinder vs LCD screen underwater use

resulting in:
:The camera I'm now considering buying is the Fuji F30, which has no viewfinder, just
:the LCD screen. Any comments whether the viewfinder or LCD screen are better for
:underwater use in a housing?

The lcd screen is all you need. In fact, my sony has both and I never
use the viewfinder anymore.

The viewfinder is quite useless underwater - set your camera defaults to use
the LCD screen only when diving. For me an important feature of my next
camera for underwater use is that it should have a large LCD viewscreen.
