I noticed that a lower tier Nikon as well, don't remember the model, but
without power the viewfinder was unusable for focusing.

The first time I took a D800 at my eye I was puzzled because when the
camera is off you can barely see through the viewfinder (with cap off
the lens).
In practice, the superimposed LCD (HUD?) allows the D800 viewfinder to
be useful only when it is on, like an EVF.

Subject: Re: One of the advantages of optical viewfinders
What difference does the optical viewfinder make in this case?
As long as it is not a RF, you would notice, whether its an optical or
electronic.
(And it looks like the guys figured it out before he "took" a shot.)
Once in a while, I pull my camera out quickly, start with changing the
mode and settings on top of the camera, and just as I start bringing
the viewfinder to my face somebody would warn me (sometimes with a
victorious look on her face) that I have the lens cap still on.
What the problem? I would have seen that in a moment.
