Many point and shoot cameras including Canon are being released with

Being sold with larger 3" LCDs, the mfg claim they are much improved and

They may be improved but the visibility is still not up to snuff in
bright light.
Why don't these mfg realize the big advantage for many of a viewfinder.
It would be nice for them to improve the viewfinder and place all of the
necessary information in the finder as well.
I know that the majority of snapshooters do not use a viewfinder
preferring to hold a camera at arms length and forgo a sharper image
even with image stabilization. But there are still many who need to
have a viewfinder available in many situations.
Canon does have it on some models and not on others. It is unfortunate
that on the model with a 28mm EQ wide it is missing.
How many readers in this ng would find the lack of a viewfinder in a P&S
a negative?
Lack of a viewfinder would be a fatal flaw for me. However, an optical
viewfinder that would cover the greater zoom ranges and also allow for
parallax would be quite expensive. Life is a series of tradeoffs.
