Without getting into all the discussion of specific magnification values, etc, I find the viewfinder image size and overall brightness with comparable field of view and maximum aperture lenses in both *ist DS and K10D to be just about the same to my eye as that which I had in the Nikon F3/T with high eyepoint prism finder.
This is ideal for my use since any larger than that and I cannot see the whole frame without moving my eye around due to wearing glasses. Larger size images in the viewfinder (like with the Pentax MX and Olympus OM-1n) are not as comfortable to work with if you wear glasses. The Leica M6TTL 0.72x viewfinder was similarly annoying when you had a 28mm lens fitted: to see those framelines I had to take off my glasses and smash my face much closer to the body ... so I fitted an accessory viewfinder with lower magnification and more eye relief.
