Today out of date and hardly available: small compact cameras with optical viewfinder. Salesclerk say, you wouldn’t need any viewfinder, the displays are sooo good these days … But in bright sunny situations displays are rather awful, you see nothing. So I bought this little camera (18 mm thickness, with optical viewfinder) which fits in trouser pocket.
