I just compared the viewfinder of the D1X with the one of an F3HP. The D1X makes you feel like you are looking into a tunnel. The viewfinder appears about 2/3 the size of the F3 if not smaller. Switching around the different cameras that I do I guess I would not notice as much. Though now that I look at the D1X it is as if you had the panorama switch set on a camera ;-) César Matamoros II Panama City, Florida - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
