I was going to write a long piece here, but realise I have said it all before:
Rangefound: A room with a view?
Honestly, my views haven't changed since I wrote that. Count me in the EVF camp, and preferably optical.
Just read your blog post. Brilliant, and absolutely on the mark. I'm one of the arms lengthers and blind as a bat in the midday sun so there is no amount of arms length to help me out. I jumped on the X100 because of its VF. I jumped on the Canon G11 for the same reason but the VF in that was pretty tacky. I'll jump on the X-10, and the XS-1 for similar reasons. All have a viewfinder of one kind or another. I have kept my elderly Olympus C760UZ because it has a viewfinder. I'm contemplating selling my F550 because it doesnt, and contemplating buying an addon VF for the GRD3.
I don't mind having an LCD screen and will use it from time to time, even on my DSLR, but I LOVE having the viewfinder, and having the option to choose.
