My 350D veiw finder info is quite readable in bright light but NOT on the 30D.

In bright light the viewfinder info is unreadable and is not bright enough to read.

Is there ANY fix for this?

Funny, this was one of the things I hated in the 350D and am pleased about with the 40D. I could never see the viewfinder info and constantly had to pull the camera down to see the small LCD. Now, with the 40D I see it well. Is the 40D different from the 30D in this respect?

No, there is no fix for it. It's been discussed numerous times here. The XT/350D automatically adjusts the brightness of the viewfinder data display, while the 30D does not.

Thanks Doug, I suspected as much.
