Don't know if you want to carry something this big but you might
consider a used Minolta A2. The A1 and A2 have electronic viewfinders
(EVF's) which have built-in dioptric correction. The A1's viewfinder is
only 320x240 resolution which is pretty crude but still somewhat usable.
The A2, on the other hand, has a 640x480 EVF. I've never used one but
with 4X the pixels it's got to be a lot better. They must have found
this too expensive to produce since the later cameras went back to the
320x240 size. There may be other cameras with 640x480 EVF's but I don't
know what they are. Anyhow the A1 and A2 are pretty sexy machines. I
wish I could buy one like them but with a much larger sensor.
