As my Sony D8 camcorder appears to be at end of life, I'm trying to
find a replacement. I do a lot of editing, and am intrigued by the
flash memory card camcorders, simply because most of my past problems
have been due to tape or tape transport.
But as I've looked at Sony, Canon, and JVC sites, it seems that none
of these come with an eyepiece viewfinder. They are all going to LCD
screen only. Since some of what I shoot are sports scenes, I find the
optical viewfinder easier to make good videos.
I'd appreciate any help on this (i.e. cameras with viewfinders, or
thoughts on shooting quality through LCD screens).
