Wouldn't an EVF work as well as an optical viewfinder if its level of detail is good enough? The models mentioned so far that don't have optical viewfinders have EVFs as well as LCD monitors. In fact, an EVF is basically an LCD monitor mounted so that it can be used like an optical viewfinder. The EVF isn't rendered as difficult to use by high ambient light levels as would a regular LCD monitor and has a lot more accurate framing than your usual peephole type optical finder.
