There is one mistake in the quoted post though, you only get 4/9 of the image area, not 2/3. Thats less than half the image area of FF, not 2/3. Thats why I am so bullish about FF. It's more than twice of area of the sensors in the pentax DSLRs for example. jco

I recall being one of the first people on the list to notice that the magnification of the istD finder was pretty much identical to that of my LX.
