There is most certainly an optical viewfinder with a brightline and variable info depending on what you want. This is switchable from the menu. The viewfinder changes angle of view depending on lens fitted and the brightline even changes colour depending on the contrast of the view. The size is within millimetres of the M9, and, whilst the weight is lighter, the camera is certainly solid and built from a solid chunk of aluminium.
