You could always go with progressive glass or bifocals :-) :-)

The lack of a viewfinder is not as much of a problem as you would 
expect; at least I don't find it to be. In general, most viewfinders are 
not very accurate anyway, so it is better to use the screen and get 100%.

You might test this out by picking up a cheap digital camera without a 
viewfinder: a Nikon L2 or something like that. Over here you can get one 
for right around $100. It doesn't have a viewfinder and would give you a 
chance to see if you can live without one.

The cameras that have screens that twist and shout (well, at least 
twist) are pretty nice.
