camera in less than safe conditions. They make these digital cameras with eyepieces and people are walking around in the daylight squinting at, shading with their hand, trying to get a better angle through which to view this tiny little screen when all they have to do is look through the viewfinder and click the damn picture. Have any camera companies thought about putting the LCD in the view finder (nobody seems to use it anyway)?
Yes. Many of the new high end digicams have electronic viewfinders, which essentially give you the LCD in the finder.
However, I disagree that LCD viewing is a problem. Using the camera away from the eye allows you to look at both the scene and the framing at the same time. Neither camera nor eye needs to be moved to observe what is going on around you. Also, you can view at waist level (like with many medium format cameras), which I find to be advantageous in many situations.
