Well..., at least a good optical rangefinder/viewfinder is fairly expensive to make (would add $100 or so to the price of the camera). A decent optical viewfinder would not be so expensive, but would be quite a bit bulkier than the tiny parascopic style viewfinders on most P&S cameras (digital or not).

Looks like good optical viewfinder is expensive to make.

Seriously, though, it seems to me that the "best of two worlds" is actually a digital camera with a good optical viewfinder. I'm not sure the optical viewfinder concept is broken, so why try to fix it?
