I was thinking of more like a video camera style viewfinder. It'd be very uncomfortable for me, but maybe some others might not mind. I heard some bridge cameras work this way. True.

When I use my PowerShot S400 I never use the viewfinder (mind you on that camera it's crap). I just don't like composing through a digital image. I never got used to that.

I get the same feeling when I look through the E-330. It’s strange because the lens is about a half stop brighter which should mitigate the weakness of the viewfinder somewhat, but the complex mirror system + LiveMOS support just proves too costly. I have half a mind to wish that they got rid of the optical viewfinder altogether. Yeah, I had a feeling. I get the same feeling when I look through the E-330.

I fell in love with the camera at first site. But one peak through the viewfinder and all was not good. The UI of this camera is by far the best of the three. But it lacks any real hand grip, and the Viewfinder is no where near as nice as the D200 (and am assuming D80). The Lens is beautiful though. I'm pretty sure Laura will be getting a D80. Which leaves me with the older camera (d70)... I got a chance to play with the L1 a bit in Japan. I fell in love with the camera at first site.

I’m sure a Canon user will highlight its light weight, among other subtleties. Well really it’s main advantage is that it is $200 cheaper and sells with a cheap, crappy kit lens. :-D

They're things that seem designed to get work done, while the XTi's main advantage seems like a gimmick.
