Which Canon rangefinders had automatic parallax correction available? I know the Canon P and the 7 do. Also the Canonet. What else?
Thanks!

I may be wrong, but I think that bright-line frames are essential to parallax correction.

Just wondering if anyone else knows anything else?

The 5 and 6 series of cameras had parallax correction in the finder shoe on the top deck of the camera. It operated by linking the rangefinder mechanism to a small ball detent that moved the auxiliary finder up and down. Parallax correction in this case does not use the viewfinder. Not sure whether the standard viewfinder offered parallax correction, though

The other day I was cleaning my (new to me) P, and was surprised how it does parallax correction. The eyepiece has a glass cover. When you remove it you see the real viewfinder with framelines etched into it. When doing parallax correction, the entire finder is moved.
New to me, coming from Leica land where only a frame mask is moved ....
No answer to the OP's question, just thought it was worth mentioning.
