EVF/LCDs will likely never be "perfect" but then I haven't found an  
optical viewfinder that was "perfect" yet either.

The Panasonic L1 allows "live view" to the rear LCD. Beautiful for  
manual focusing when doing precision work as it can be used at a 10x  
magnification level and gives 100% precise view of what's being framed.

The Sony R1 EVF and LCD can allow you to see what's going on under  
circumstances when an optical viewfinder looks almost completely  
black, and the top-mounted swivel LCD allows waist level framing even  
in vertically oriented photos. The KM A2 did a similar thing.  
Unfortunately, neither implemented enough magnification to make  
manual focusing particularly wonderful.

Optical reflex finders are always more responsive and better for  
moving subjects and facial expressions.

Plusses and minuses.
