I assume that means you haven't tried the E-3 yet. Do that. You'll be surprised. Olympus has performed some magic trick on that one. Viewfinder size simply isn't an issue anymore, and having an 4:3 aspect ratio also makes so much better to "move" around in.

just recently Ive added a 1.2x Pentax mag finder (modified) to the OVF on my E3, now its 0.69 which is bigger than 5D on the list. I must say, the success rate with MF is more near 100%, where before with an E300 it was closer to 20%. It also keeps the LCD away from the face keeping it cleaner.
