If you think I'm wrong, I challenge you to try to find a non SLR camera

a feature, it is almost completely phased out.
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.
e gettin old!
My understanding of the Fuji is that it is a non coupled viewfinder
unless switched over to being an electronic one. Is the Epson still current?
Leica is, of course, the exception to the rule.
