I tend to agree, although I include live view LCDs on digicams, so it's
not only SLrs for me.

Return of the pedant... Is the partial silvering weighted so that 3/4 of
the light goes to the viewfinder? That would put quite a burden on the
sensor system.
If it's 50/50, the light loss to both viewer and sensor is one half, and
that's a loss of one stop for each.
