I've only had it about 2 hours, Gene!
The specs say:
http://www.dpreview.com/articles/canoneos5d/
Viewfinder ? 96% frame coverage
? 0.71x magnification
? Focusing screen can be changed

The viewfinder seems very similar to the 1DMII, 
which is .72x, but the camera weighs almost half 
as much.  It feels very, very light compared to 
the MarkII.  The 5D is full frame, though, so my 
lenses are what they say they are!  I'm having 
problems getting it programmed to work the same 
as my MarkII, though.  Custom Function 13 is 
supposed to make the big wheel control the focus 
points and, so far, I haven't been able to make it work.

Thanks Tina.  It will be interesting to hear your comments as you work 
through getting the 5D working for you.
