I have been looking at the Canon S3 and Sony H1 as a replacement for my Olympus C2100UZ. My Olympus viewfinder is 0.33".
The Sony H1 is only 0.2" and it is awful to look through. Much too small.
The Canon S3 is the same as my Olympus. 0.33" That was one factor in choosing the S3, which I have ordered.

remember that the superzooms all have EVF (electronic viewfinder). This means they have a little screen inside the viewfinder.

The other Canon compacts have optical viewfinders, but these are squintcompared to the actual photo, and only give a rough idea of the photo thats going to be taken

If you want a proper viewfinder (see what your getting in real time, with no lag or visible pixels) then you need a DSLR...
