Thanks Mike. Did you find the grid screen to be dimmer or similar in brightness to EOS-3 standard one ?

However, one caution...if you need to do any manual focusing, whether because of personal preference or just a situation where AF doesn't work, keep in mind that the brighter the screen, generally the less "pop" there is when something comes into focus. The older technology screens tend to be better for manual focusing. I really liked the grid screen in the eos 3 for this fact when I replaced the standard screen with it.
