Digital Camera With Viewfinder On Front Of Camera

Why don’t a lot of the new point and shoots don’t have a viewfinder ?
So I’ve been wanting to buy myself a new point and shoot , because i allready have a canon XTi and my mother won’t let me use it at home , only on special occasions because i kinda get it all wet( i was trying to shoot a pic of a twirling Daisy with water drops flying off , though i ended up getting the lens and the front wet when i dipped the flower in water the front of it went it , though my camera is fine) ,and i kinda almost lost it so it’s a good idea . So i wanted to buy a new point and shoot becaue the one i’m using now , my nikon 4600 is really slow and he dosen’t last long even with new batteries , probably because i used the camera a lot :

Though I’m kinda now used to using the viewfinder because when i was allowed to use my canon everywhere i had to use it . And i’m open to any camera suggestions as long as it’s a nikon and has viewfinder ,
Thank you
As already stated, the 2 main reasons are
smaller cameras
Larger LCDs
Both of these mean, “less space” for the Optical viewfinder.
I agree with you however, and will NOT buy a camera without an optical viewfinder.
I prefer them usually, especially out in the bright sunlight.
I’d stay with Nikon or Canon,
and Canon does still have a good assortment of small cameras with an Optical VF,
I have a little Canon SD800 IS, for a “pocket” camera.
4X zoom (starts WIDE angle, which I want)
Optical and LCD viewfinders
IS
They make a lot more models, too

Digital SingleLens Reflex Camera $101.96 A digital singlelens reflex camera (digital SLR or DSLR) is a digital camera that uses a mechanical mirror system and pentaprism to direct light from the lens to an optical viewfinder on the back of the camera. The basic operation of a DSLR is as follows: for viewing purposes, the mirror reflects the light coming through the attached lens upwards at a 90 degree angle. It is then reflected twice by the pentaprism, rectifying it for the photographers eye. During exposure, the mirror assembly swings upward, the aperture narrows (if stopped down, or set smaller than wide open), and a shutter opens, allowing the lens to project light onto the image sensor. A second shutter then covers the sensor, ending the exposure, and the mirror lowers while the shutter resets. The period that the mirror is flipped up is referred to as viewfinder blackout. A fastacting mirror and shutter is preferred so as to not delay an action photo. All of this happens automatically over a period of milliseconds, with cameras designed to do this 310 times a second.
