It seems to me this trend toward view screen shooting (as opposed to looking through a viewfinder) must in some way affect the outcome of the shot. Just as top-view cameras encourage shooting from waist height, view-screen shots probably take on a characteristic of their own too, though probably less noticable.
As much as I hate the viewscreen on my Optio, I find the viewfinder to be so innacurate that it is only a best guess aproximation of what's being pictured.
For me, the characteristic of the viewscreen approach rather than using the viewfinder is better composition.
