By far the best viewfinder I've seen in an under-$2000 DSLR was on the Konica-Minolta Maxxum 7D. It is unfortunate that Sony chose to come out with their upgrade of the 5D first, because that viewfinder really sucks. I hope they don't wait too long to release the 7D upgrade, or even better, their version of the 9D which never made it to market under the K-M banner. I've talked to people who were involved in the project and it sounds like it would be a serious contender as a pro DSLR.
