OTOH the reason why SLR manufacturers go on ad nauseam about their viewfinder coverage is that is difficult and expensive to produce a 100% SLR viewfinder so most did not. Those that did therefore made a big thing of it. There is no doubt that if framing accuracy is a very important thing you look for in a camera an SLR is necessary. A Leica type viewfinder has to have framing error varying with focusing distance and, particularly with the more extreme wide angle lenses, some interesting/annoying parallax effects.
