30D to 5D question

Hi All,

quick question....


when looking though the viewfinder on the 5D does it seem/or is it larger than the viewfinder on the 30d?

I was lucky enough to use a Hasslblad a few months back, and the viewfinder in that was about 30% larger than my 30d, just wondering if the 5d is the same

thinking of upgrading at some point

It is and does seem larger

Heres a comparison of viewfinder sizes.

I do not believe the viewfinder is any different on the 5D than 30D. I think you will love the 5D though......in my opinion it just produces great results.

wow! cheers for the link!

Thats perfect, and im quite suprised at how much larger it actualy is!

It's larger and brighter.

Yes.

I wear glasses, and I can easily see the entire FoV through the VF on any of Canon's APS-C cameras, but I really have to position my eye and glasses carefully to be able to see the entire view through the 5D. And even then, I have to move my eye from left to right to take in all, while there is no need to do that with the others, not even with the 40D.

I am seriously considering getting my EP-EX15 out of storage, to see if it makes it easier.

Kind regards, Wim
