Is this your camera? Phoenix P-3000 At the risk of being obvious, have you removed the lens cap? Unlike simply compact cameras, with an SLR like this the viewfinder looks through the lens rather than just being a window through the camera body.

Have you tried to run film through it yet? Maybe the film needs to be advanced so that the mirror can be reset and swing down and out of your line of sight. Thank you
