I vowed to not buy a digital camera without a viewfinder--and then my wife won one! A $150 Olympus at the time, and it does take surprising good snapshots, but I cannot comfortably frame and focus holding a 2.5" LCD out in front of me. I really like low light, creative shots, but I feel the need to brace the camera against my face, and my arm/body against something steady--the LCD doesn't do it for me. I realize that most modern cameras with viewfinders have digital, not optical, finders but it is still better for me to focus when I can effectively block from view everything but what I see in the finder. YMMV.
