Agreed. I think that, aside from power issues, this might be a reasonable trade off since you would lose mirror slap vibrations. I only use the viewfinder for composition anyway. I used to have an E-100, and Olympus ZLR with a lousy 1.5 MP resolution. The viewfinder was a screen, but I really liked the way that camera handled.

It would have to use a partially-reflective mirror a la D1n, of course. But, realistically, you're right: there's no reason to do this. Though I bet if somebody made an interchangeable-lens body with an LCD screen where the current ground glass screen is all but the purists would call it a DSLR, just because it looked like one.
