Does the 5D display the ISO in the viewfinder like the 30D, shows up when user selected?

-Thanks

Don't have a 30D, but the ISO is only seen on the top of the display, not in the viewfinder.

The 5D does it like the 30D: it only shows on the top LCD, and only when you press the ISO button (or view an image in Info mode).

Oops! Like he said, it shows up in the viewfinder as well when you push the ISO button! I just am used to looking at the top LCD! Sorry for the gaff!

Yup, the 30D (which was launched a bit later than the 5D) almost seemed like a carbon copy of the 5 except for the sensor and mirror box. Which is not bad if you like to have exactly the same control sets on both bodies.. I enjoyed my 30D :)
