Amstrad had some very cheap camcorders on VHS-C in the 90s which had optical viewfinders coupled to the rather paltry 3x zoom. I guess it was cheaper than EVF's and to be fair the one I used did the job fairly well. But it did mean there was no reviewing your footage until you got home.
The Betamax camcorder never made it to the market, I believe. But was similarly hobbled.
