Quick check via the internet. None of these has an eye-level viewfinder.
I won't buy a camera that doesn't have an eye-level viewfinder. I just
can't use those "hold it out at arms length & compose a photo using the
little TV screen on the back cameras".
As far as I can tell, the Canon G series, the Nikon 7100 & (some models)
Nikon 1 are the only point 'n shoot cameras still made with an eye-level
viewfinder.
Yes John I certainly felt that way about viewfinders and that's why I
moved from P&S to SLR. But that last gallery with the vineyard & over
half my street shots in MPLS were all shot with K-01. I only hold it
inches from my face and with my trifocals it is maybe easier to frame
than with K-5. I have read many good reports about Canon G's and Nikon
7100 and their viewfinders, of course.
