Egami, the Japanese photography website has discovered a new Canon patent for an Electronic Viewfinder. While Google translated material is hardly perfect, it seems if the eyepiece is displayed on the LCD screen, it works like a normal viewfinder. When the eyepiece is off the screen, it reverts back to a full screen LCD. No mention about the resolution of the viewfinder and it may be sold as an accessory option to a lower priced camera model.
