Just thinking further on this for a moment.
If optical viewfinders had never existed, we wouldn't miss them. Then
along came a camera with one built in, and you pick it up and tell us
that your new camera with no rear LCD is kinda cool, and you don't miss
it at all.
My point is, if the designers and manufacturers made only cameras with
no OVFs, then eventually people would accept it as the norm.
It already is considered the norm my millions of people. Despite what
Don says, I read one review of the Pentax K-01 that put the lack of an
optical viewfinder as one of the big *positives* about the camera.
Amazing to me but that's the younger generation for you: they find an
optical viewfinder to be a colossal waste of space & money.
I got to play around with a K-01 at GFM last year. I loved everything
about it except the lack of viewfinder. Even at the blow-out prices
we've seen recently I couldn't convince myself to buy one because of
that.
Amen.
