People who need reading glasses, like me, cannot hold these squitty little cameras close to their eye unless they have their reading glasses on. If they have their reading glasses on they can't check the rest of the scene so easily, especially if they are active. Non-SLR digicams seem have to have some serious parallax problems when you look through the viewfinder. As a result, they have to hold them at arm's length.
