Optical viewfinder yes, compact no. The D50 is an older Nikon DSLR. I suspect you're referring to the P50, which should be avoided. Nikon's PS production of the last few years start at bad and get rapidly worse. Optical finders are dying off. Mostly because PS finders are typically horrid. -Adam

Well, P50 it is. Remember reading about it on PopPhoto. I wouldn't challenge your statement about avoiding it, but since the order is about some compact (not really, but still smaller than a DSLR) and not so expensive (one bill, $100) camera with an optic viewfinder, I tried to increase the
