My SLR allows you to look through the lens, that's largely the
point of the system. Mine have a fine focus gadget in the middle
of the screen to make sure focus is perfect. How is that going to
be improved on in a digital? Do they have optical or digital
viewfinders?

By the focusing frame? Because you can see it?
Admittedly the screen's not quite as clear as an image on the ground glass
of an SLR. Many digicams nowadays have a magnifying glass function that
enlarges a section of the view - in the same way as eyepiece zooms do for
some conventional (generally higher class) SLRs.
Regardless, you can still check the picture taken *after* the shot has been
taken to confirm it's not a complete cock-up. Which for many people is a
significant advantage.

Very often in SLRs you only get the small focus frame, and you have to
gauge by eye on the normal matt screen if it really *is* in focus.
The little fine focus split or crisscross circle is lacking on most
digicams (see below)- but then again it is missing on most modern film SLRs
as well.
If that's what you mean?

That depends on the camera. Most have a viewfinder, and nearly all have the
digital display on the back which is the view through the lens, just as in
an SLR. Some have a combination, where the viewfinder looks down onto
another digital display.
The point is, you can check the photo *directly afterwards* (if you want,
with the magnify/lens function) to see if it is at least halfway decent,
and possibly have another go if you have the chance.

My Nikon digital camera optical view finder shows exactly, what is on
the image. Just like on an SLR. I don't use the LCD display to take
photos. After I take a photo, I can look at and zoom the image if I
want. This way it's possible to spot unsharp images etc. I find that
I take far more and much better photos than I ever did with my Olympus
SLR cameras.

because you see the same image in the optical view finder as you would
through an SLR. You can inspect the image after taking the photo and
zoom in on the bit you wanted to focus the image on. The software in
the camera provides a lot of options, on which part of the image is to
be in focus.

Do you have exposure info in the digital viewfinder ?

The only Loose Windscreen song that I even remotely like has a line like

Like the t-shirt:
There are only 10 sorts of people.
Those that understand binary and those that don't.

It's available in the digital screen on most but the low/mid range cameras.
Shutter speed/aperture, and any compensation. Depending on camera, just as
with normal film cameras. The lower idownn the model range, the less
options you get.
You can also often get the "histogram" display, which shows a dynamic graph
of the number of each pixel with each brightness so you can adjust exposure
using that if you wish to concentrate on highlights or not. You don't need
and SLR -digital or otherwise - to get this sort of thing.
I find it potentially useful, but in practice on my camera I haven't really
got the hang of it.
