Default Bit of a con, really ... ?

Are there any?


By definition, no. There's the Panasonic Lumix G1, which is basically
a DSLR with no mirror, pentaprism, or viewfinder, but that makes it
not actually an SLR. http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/panasonicdmcg1/

But the original claim was that there are few SLRs using electronic
viewfinders and they were all low end. In fact live view is becoming
more common, and the Canon EOS 5D Mark II, while not at the very top
end, is hardly low end either.
