Are there any cheapish cameras still made with an optical viewfinder? I'd like to avoid Canon models as I've had problems with the zoom mechanism jamming.

Thanks

Optical viewfinders on compacts, especially zoom compacts, were generally not that good.

The only non-DSLRs with a (true) optical viewfinder tend to be the bridge style cameras, and are more expensive.

Some of the compacts that try to look like a DSLR have a viewfinder, but it tends to be an LCD inside, rather than a true optical viewfinder.
