Ah.. my first digi camera had a viewfinder, and I too used it in concert situations like that - on buying the current one, I found that most of the cameras in my price range didn't - something of a disadvantage in situations like concerts or out in bright sunshine... so I have reined myself in a bit now. Nothing worse than sitting towards the back of an auditorium or similar with lots of bright little screens shining away in your line of sight. I humbly nod the head in apology to you for assuming you were one of they ...!
