Default Nikon Coolpix P4 lack of optical viewfinder

I am considering buying the Nikon Coolpix P4. Everything that I've read
about the Coolpix P4 sound great - except for its lack of an optical
viewfinder. I currently have a Kodak 3.1 megapixel EasyShare. The view
screen on the Kodak isn't very visible in bright light conditions but
it also has an optical viewfinder so that really isn't a problem.

I'm looking for advice from someone who owns the Nikon P4. Has the
lack of an optical viewfinder ever been a problem for you, or is it
clearly visible in all lighting conditions? Thanks in advance for any
advice.

Regards, Roberta

I use a Panasonic Lumix LX1 with a good LCD and no viewfinder. It is a
problem in some situations, but the other outstanding features render
the lack less important in the constellation of decision pairs. If the
Coolpix P4 holds up well in image quality and controllability, I'd not
hesitate.

So Nikon have come up with a Coolpix without an optical viewfinder? Remind
me not to replace any of my 3 older Coolpix cameras with such a beast!
