I may be the exception here, I had zero Canon lenses and the
Viewfinder was my number one requirement. If I cannot tell accurate
focus in the viewfinder, I will find a different camera. I could care
less about prestige. Performance, yes. I will not buy a camera
that does not have a decent viewfinder and diopter adjustment.
Unless I know it is a P&S class camera, like the C5060. Maybe
some people need to have bragging rights, but who cares if
they can't take a great picture.
