I feel your pain and in that regard a while back I bought a Nikon Coolpix
7100 - A great, small, compact digital with an optical viewfinder. I still
haven't convinced myself to use it in place of my Pentax SLR.

Subject: Equipment Changes
I thought it about time to update you all on my equipment/shooting changes.
The following changes in my life have caused me to alter my photography
somewhat:
1) Due to aging - near vision causing me to need reading glasses
2) Last child finishing up soccer - changing my need/desire to shoot
sports on large fields
3) 2nd daughter becoming an accomplished portrait/wedding photographer
and needing better equipment
4) My desire to have lightweight, small walk-around camera to keep with
me most of the time.
To that end, I have done the following:
My daughter has been given my fairly new K-5iis and DA* 16-50 and DA*
50-135
I have purchased an Olympus OM-D E-M10 with small kit lens and small
telezoom. Along with that I got an adapter for my remaining Pentax lenses
of which I think the M 50/1.4, Tamron 90/2.8 macro and A 70-210/4 will see
some use.
I still have a K10D and a well used K-5 at my disposal with some lenses
that can be used but don't anticipate much use from them at this point.
I am happy with the Olympus - the articulating screen allows me to shoot
at waist level with my reading glasses on and the viewfinder fits nicely
above the glasses when shooting that way. The size is great and the
results are plenty good for what I am doing at this time.
