This is unrelated to either the sensor size, or it's technology, and entirely dependent on the optics of the viewfinder. The D80 has about 95% coverage, which is pretty good for a consumer DSLR (but why oh why don't camera manufacturers make 100% coverage viewfinders as a matter of course?) -- Charles
