Kirk uses a Hoodman loupe to provide an eye level viewfinder when needed. Although not to my taste as the perfect solution, it does work well. The recently announced Panasonic GX7 looks like it might be nearly the ideal digital camera in this regard, at least in concept. Articulated high-rez EVF and LCD in a compact and nicely laid out body design. Yes, I would like to see Ricoh do something in this direction too. A new-age Pentax model, an updated GXR line ... There are many possibilities.
