However, as I age I find the provision of a diopteric
adjustment in the viewfinder to be almost essential since I
don't need glasses for long distance and don't wear them
outdoors

In most cases, with a point and shoot, the optical viewfinder
is used to make sure that you have the object framed when you
can't see the object in the LCD because of glare. The idea
isn't to provide a detailed view of the object, but to make
sure it's your grandchild, and not the family sedan near the
grandchild, that the camera is pointing at.

The better DSLRs have adjustment lenses too but I have no pretensions to being an artist and I'm willing to err on getting too much. There's always PhotoShop Elements! I just don't want to get a headache from squinting into the finder.
