The LCD has so many advantages.

Poke the camera manufacturers and they all seem to think the viewfinder, be it mirror based, straight through a tunnel or even evf is on it's last legs.

Only for the consumer oriented camera's, IMHO. Serious camera's will always have a viewfinder (at least an external one), as an LCD-screen has too many disadvantages, as I already posted in my earlier reaction to Godfrey.
