How does this rain cover work when using the camera's viewfinder?

Good enough. It's not as clear as it would be without it but, it definitely gets the job done (keeping dry). I was, and am, willing to put up with less than perfect view finding to be able to take my DSLR out in the rain.

There is a clear plastic window on the back that you can see the viewfinder through

Sorry it took so long! Yes there is and it's a good size! It work ok with the view finder open to the side. It can be done but i dont like it like that! I fill like it might break it, so i just live it open but not extended out! I have a canan T3i ,

It will cover just enough of the camera from the rain. Therefore, it should not affect the camera's viewfinder in any way. Just make sure it's on the proper way.

The cover has clear plastic in front of the view finder - I love this rain cover, very easy to use and keeps my camera really dry

There is an automatic lens cover that opens and closes as you turn the camera on and off. This is true with most point and shoot cameras.

It was a little tricky to use and I ended up cutting the velcro strap off. The picture showed it snugged up around lens, and on auto focus zoom was to restrickting. I do a loose sinch at end of lense to allow movement and yes a bit cumbersome but compared to the plain plastic rain sleeve with only 1 arm. What a joy and I feel more assured camera will remain dry having already lost 1 to rain this year. Good luck & hope this helped.

No. This is a rubber skin that covers most of the camera. There are holes all over for the straps, battery, screen etc. Each hole will allow water in. This is just to protect the camera from bumps. It may keep out some rain water as the rubber does cover the buttons. I do not like loosing the feel of the rubber covering the buttons. You also cannot read the markings on the camera.

The contents will definitely be protected from rain. As for fit, I use it with my Canon Rebel with a Sigma 18-250 lens with no problem.

I had the same concern and talked to Ritz Camera, they recommended me to buy a $20 cover for the camera's LCD that would shade and protect it. There is no viewfinder on the camera and the LCD is quite reflective, which would make it hard to see in the sunlight.

That is correct. the camera does have a viewfinder, which doesn't line up 100%, so I don't often use it.

I use the view finder most of the time, no problem in the sun.. the lens should have sun shade.

I guess if your really, really, really quick and you install the rain cover with the zipper on top. Between rain drops set up, unzip, shoot,and zip back up before the next rain drop. If the flash is that important why not just carry a bumper shoot.

The switch end of the camera has a removable waterproof cover, and the rest of the camera body is a sealed unit. So while it may not be waterproof, it IS rainproof.

The camera has not given me trouble with rain in the time of use (I live in Costa Rica is a tropical country with lots of rain). Regarding the night vision is well within walking distance.

I agree with Chuck. With many lenses you need to remove the lens to put the camera in this bag. There are other products specifically designed to cover a camera during rain which would be superior for that task.

Hi Lorraine. Don't believe everything you hear. According to their site ( http://www.vanguardworld.com/index.php/en/pv/products/detail-1-1-229-726.html ) there is a rain cover on the 41 (point 5 - exterior functions).

The illuminator is weather proof and aside from water possibly getting on your lens and temporarily "blurring" the light spots until it drys, there would be no adverse affect if it rains on the light. You must protect the power adapter plug from rain or snow.

As I recall it connects using a sticky backing. This viewfinder is really not too helpful in my opinion, but its cheap. You get what you pay for.

Yes, it does, but not very well when the upper pane (if there is an upper pane) is all the way up. With the glass up, you get reflection which can interfere with the image. With my storm door, I've lowered the pane, but the cam still has to "look" through the screen, which seems to produce "distortion" - i.e., there seems to be too much light coming in.

Well, I have my camera mounted on the front of my truck, just above the tow hook. I do cover it with a plastic baggie at the car wash, but I have driven in the rain and it still works fine.
