I am a dedicated viewfinder loyalist. I chose my last two cameras based solely on which models included viewfinders. Here are my reasons:
1.) You look like a complete tool holding that little thing at arm's length, and jutting your chin under to help you focus on the jittery picture. Yes, you do.
2.) Said picture is jittery, because it is harder to hold something steady at arm's length than it is to hold it against your head.
3.) Again, the arm's-length thing negates the picture-size argument as well. A 3/8" viewfinder held up to your eye fills your vision and seems very large indeed. A 3" screen held away from your body appears much smaller than 3 inches.
4.) Constantly-active LCD screens suck up battery life like nobody's business.
