ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is an improvement on the placement of the viewfinder on compact cameras. The improvement allows the camera back not to press against the photographer's nose when the photographer is viewing through the viewfinder to take pictures. The improvement comprises a placement of the viewfinder at a position near the bottom of the camera. The viewfinder position allows the photographer to see through the viewfinder without letting the camera back press against the photographer's nose. In preferred embodiments, the viewfinder can be placed at the bottom-left corner of the camera body, beneath the lens at the center, or at the bottom-right corner of the camera body. In addition, the camera body can be provided with a recessed portion on the bottom that allows the photographer's nose to be placed therewithin when the photographer is viewing through the viewfinder, thus further allowing comfortableness to the photographer's nose when the photographer is viewing through the viewfinder.
