Paul,
Digitial photography has only been with us for a few years. The mirror pentaprism view finder has been with us for 60 or 70 years. The innovation improvement in digital imagary over the past 10 years has been astounding. I would expect that over the next 5 or 10 years, commericially viable and cost effective solutions for an LCD-viewfinder or successor digital viewfinder solutions will be developed. It may be better than the mirror pentaprism. It may give us the capability of a brighter image in low light situations (where the photographer may actually be able to clearly see faces and other details, where through a pentaprism it is too dim).
I have no inside knowledge, I am just trying to let my imagination run wild. We will have to wait and see what the innovators will develop.
