I have a Sony DSC-W1, which has a marvellous 2.5" LCD screen. But that's a snapshot camera, and it's not intended to be used mainly with the LCD turned off. In these kinds of pocket cameras it is often difficult to take advantage of the viewfinder, because they are so small, and your nose gets on the way.

That's why I stick to the LCD, and rely on viewfinder only in emergency, mostly when the batteries' life are near their end.

In the end it's always a matter of taste. Use both and choose one you're most confortable with.
