Lots of mirrorless cameras have electronic viewfinders - you have a conventional-looking viewfinder, but you look at a tiny screen, rather than a prism and a mirror. Because you are seeing an image captured by the sensor, it is precisely "what you see in that view finder is what you get in the photo" - including things like adjusting exposure compensation, which you would not see in an SLR viewfinder.
This also allows various helpful features to operate in the viewfinder, rather than just on the back LCD. I use magnification a lot, and there is also focus peaking and highlight and shadow indication. It can be really useful to have those a couple of button taps away while i'm composing a shot.
