And, why is that so great? You don't know what the imager is
actually seeing, especially if it has optical zoom. With close-ups
you get a lot of parallax.

A85 you see the 3x optical zoom in viewfinder, it's fine for most
shots. OK there will be parallax in macro mode. There is a stop in
zoom, then it will go to digital zoom for 11x. Dunno about A75.

In direct sunlight the LCD turns into a black mirror.

You wanna try it under water.

Couldn't see screen to zoom and the optical was impossible with a
snorkel mask on.
