I think EVFs are truly ghastly.  Looking through one tends to remove me 
even further from the process of taking a photograph.  I was on the 
brink of buying an S7000 last year (F*ji), but the viewfinder turned me 
right off.  I was even considering a C-8080 last week but for the 
viewfinder.  I even prefer the rather crappy little optical viewfinder 
of the Powershot; if I want to look at a screen I'll use the outside 
one ...
