View percent when using zoom button

what is the equivalent crop or % view with each push of the zoom button

Why don't you check the manual? Page 120 it looks like if what you are sfter is what they call "magnified view".

I'm not sure the default, I know on my 6D I changed it so one button push is equivalent to 100% crop. That seems to be the accepted check for sharpness, so it logically follows that would be what I'm interested in. A quick google search should yield some answers.

I once tried to figure it out on the 40D, comparing the image size on the LCD with a copy of the file on a monitor. At max zoom it was bigger than 1:1 which seemed to be three clicks before the maximum.

It's almost impossible to check for sharpness on the 40D's LCD. It's not very sharp itself. The photos on my monitor are WAY sharper than on the camera.

I agree. Just got a 40D for my daughter and I've been too blessed starting on a T2i and moving up from there. Not sure how them people way back when did it lol.

It's all relative. You learn after a while if you hit focus or not. I use to run my picture style with 0 sharpening and I could still tell if I hit focus.

Perhaps I don't see too well, but I don't use the camera's lcd to determine keep-able sharpness. I still get surprises in both directions. I don't delete anything in camera unless something else is wrong with the shot.
