Austin,
Whilst there is no disputing your maths in regard to image size the reality is not quite as simple.
If I scan an image at 300 dpi it never equals the same image scanned at 1200 dpi and then later converted to 300 dpi. Similarly if you take a digital photograph at your camera’s lowest resolution and then compare it to an identical photograph taken at the highest resolution which has then been compressed to the same file size, the second photo will be much better.
The higher the density of pixels per area at the point of capture, whether in camera or scanned the better the quality of the image no matter what the printer’s resolution is.
Regards the viewfinder speculation; I had considered a secondary optical LCD, but discountd it because of the cost and small image size. Similarly, a small zoom viewfinder such as on the G2 would not really suffice. But the larger high eyepoint viewfinders that you used to see on compact cameras would do for 90% of the time. Anyway, that is just speculation.........
