Fortunately, there are still a few to choose from, but I don't know any with what I would call a really good viewfinder (megapixel, high contrast).

Digital zoom is generally crap and shouldn't be factored in. I'd say these days, some of the cameras in the Panasonic Lumix DMC series are the "best" compact-ish cameras with a proper viewfinder.
