Anti-fog wipes for viewfinders?

I was taking some photos today and accidentally breathed out via my nose right into the viewfinder which instantly steamed up.

At this precise moment a bird that I had been waiting for landed and all I could see was a blur...it was like someone replaced my lens with a jar of vaseline. I had to quickly wipe it with my little finger to clear it and almost missed the shot.

I am usually careful to not do this but occasionally when I am looking about with my head close to the camera I manage to do it :bang:

Any suggestions?
 
SLR user, I often find I have the same problem, scanning the sky or woodland for a bird, whilst holding my camera just beneath my nose.
I read in the 7d users manual you can actually buy a canon anti fog eye piece.

Just had a search - ouch quite expensive!

Thanks Ian never thought of replacing the eyepiece with an anti-fogging one (haven't read the manual yet :bonk:), it is a bit expensive though so will have to see.
