This is the sad truth. The Epson R-D1, Leica M8 and 9, Fuji X100 spring to mind. My X10 is a compromise but does the job just enough that it's useful to me. I do use it with just the rear LCD for some shooting, but that ties in with the subject matter, eg macro for instance. That said, if I do some considered portraits then the A*85/1.4 goes onto either the *ist Ds or the 1D (although I have to ask to borrow that camera :) so for me it's a particular tool for the job. I would not consider a camera without a usable optical viewfinder.
