Hi Mehrdad,
Yes that's the other thing that bugs me about the D30/D60 bodies, that
viewfinder! I think in full frames and it's hard to make the mental shift
back to the small finder image and non-100% finder. I loved the EOS 1d in
terms of pure AF and frame rate performance but feel that I might be leaving
too much image on the table so to speak with the larger size but smaller 4MP
CCD imager. I also like the larger image sensor size and the extra few
degrees of apparent field of view that's possible compared with the D30/D60
bodies, the shortest lens I have is the EF 17-35 2.8L and this yields what,
something around 22mm or so on a 1d vs. the 27mm of the D60? It's only 5mm
but this makes a difference to me on the short end. Sigh, I'm really
torn...
Cheers/Chip
