More and more often they don't have true viewfinders at all. The picture in LCD is not the one that could be used for evaluating the scene. Electronic viewfinder (EVF), IMNHO, is the most useless invention of (at least) last 10 years... I CANNOT focus to subjects, that I don't see clearly.

Seriously, I have a Pentax Auto 110, and it takes decent pictures. I also have a Canon Elph point and shoot that is smaller than the 110, takes better pictures, and has a zoom range that's at least as broad as the reach of the Pentax and its three lenses. There are some tiny Optios available
