As others have mentioned, the display resolution is also a problem.
Eventually, these shortcomings will get fixed and viable ELVF's will come to
the market. They'll eventually be almost as good as an optical, TTL finder and
eliminate the need for any swinging mirrors. But that time may be 10-20 years
away.
1mp is only about half the pixel pitch of the current 235kp displays
(because it's the square of the linear count). Also, of course, a
slightly larger display with slightly higher pitch would do the job,
too. I would guess that all the savings in SLR optical viewfinder space
and weight would easily allow use of a larger display than that used in
diminutive non-SLR prosumer DCs, while still reducing overall body size
and weight. 2 years tops. If it's good enough, they might be able to
dispense with the image display LCD on the back of the body altogether,
for more savings.
