Canon PowerShot A3100 IS Digital Camera

I bought the Canon Powershot A3000 IS to get a better quality pictures than I had been getting with one of my older cameras. The pictures very clear with great tone so that was great. However, this being a fairly inexpensive camera, there is no  viewfinder included. Even on a cloudy day, the LCD screen is just a blur of gray. You must find something to relate to and hope the rest of the picture is approximately what you're trying to get.  The horizon is even hard to find.
