Tom.
You'll find optical viewfinders are less popular today - partially because
on a camera like the TZ3 with a 10:1 zoom, reproducing that zoom range in
an optical finder would significantly increase size, weight and cost. You
may find an EVF (electronic view-finder) which you can live with, but they
are much less in resolution that an SLR viewfinder, and most useful as
framing aids (rather than, say, setting the focus, or previewing
depth-of-field).
Certainly, when I have a camera with an EVF I do find myself using it 95%
of the time in preference to the LCD. If you are someone who needs
distance glasses, just look over the top of the glasses when using the LCD
finder!
Cheers,
David
