I was just comparing the viewfinder between my 5n and a friend's 50. I was a
bit amazed to discover that my 5n's viewfinder has gives everything a rather
warm (or woody) cast, while the 50 had a bluish (or tinny) cast, and I
didn't get the same satisfaction composing with it (even though it probably
was of no consequence to the produced image).

If you're wondering, I did swap lenses to make sure, it wasn't the lenses.

Anyway, I just had the horrible thought that maybe some newbie slightly
interested in photography might pick up a relatively cheap body like a 50,
and because of the less than satisfactory viewfinder, not get as into
photography as he/she could have been otherwise.

Anybody notice the viewfinder difference too? Any thoughts?

Regards,
Ryan

PS Anybody want to compare their ist D viewfinder (woody? tinny? something
else perhaps?) to their film viewfinders?
