Of course not on all of them, but I tried Fuji 4900, 6900, Olympus Camedia 2100. These three put me off LCD viewfinders for a long time. Manual focusing was impossible at the wide end, possible only at the long end, IMHO. I have also field experience (shooting short movies at school of journalism and independently) with Mini-DV moviecams using colour LCD viewfinders, and professional moviecams (S-VHS or /full/DV) which use B&W viewfinders. The later win easily. Even an old VHS camera with B&W finder (due to cost saving) is actually easier to focus manually than a colour finder mini-DV sony.
