Martin Its not so much as the "full-frame" aspect of the viewfinder, that is a problem. Its the fact that its so damn small to look through. Now as I normally shoot a 645 Mamiya, a 35mm camera viewfinder is bound to be a step down, in the sense that its a much smaller physical viewfinder, therefore feels like you are looking through a small window as opposed to a large french window. But the D30 and the D60, seem to have impossibly small windows/viewfinders to look through. Its like the smallest bathroom window ever! So the question is, how does the 1Ds viewfinder compare to a D30/D60. Not in terms of fullness of the image frame, but in the feeling of looking through this tiny viewfinder. I pray that is is better/bigger.
