[QUOTE="soundimageplus, post: 46449, member: 16"] There is a design price to pay for a viewfinder. Either the raised centre lump in the G3 or GH2 or the protuding out viewfinder eyepiece of the NEX-7. I would also guess that the Fuji X100 is higher than it would be if there was no viewfinder. Both the GX1 and E-P3 would look different if there was an internal viewfinder. Personally I'm happy with an add-on. I use one for my E-P3 and NEX-5n. For certain circumstances, I wouldn't want a viewfinder, tripod work or video being the obvious examples. Again its a personal thing but I like the extra size and height from the add on viewfinder. Takes it away from that compact camera look and feel, which I dislike. Gives my E-P3 a bit more "gravitas". Also not everybody wants a viewfinder, so the cameras would be even more expensive, if it was included. Absolutely 100% with you on the 16MP sensor though. [/QUOTE]
