Here, the “release-to-snap” implementation of the iPhone camera’s shutter really helps.

Do you miss view finders in today’s crop of digital point & shoot (P&S) cameras? Do you have problems correctly framing an image when holding the camera in front of you? So do I!

Our friends at Digital Outback Photo developed a great method to improve framing an image before you take it with a P&S camera. Simply use Hoodman’s HoodLoupe, which was originally developed to better view LCD screens on DSLRs, wear it around your neck, hold it up to your P&S’ LCD screen when framing an image and then take the picture.

HoodLoupe: $79.99, Amazon: from $74.96
