BRIGHTSCREEN
Features a split prism in the centre, surrounded by a microprism collar.
I found the Brightscreen view rather 'busy' compared to regular screens, so it does distract from the image somewhat. The image is also a bit darker than regular (Canon) focus screens.
If you're used to plain focus screen you'll need time to get used to the Brightscreen. In terms of focussing, it does a very good job and makes manual focussing much easier and quicker - except in very critical situations it would probably be unnecessary to switch to live view for checking the focus.
On the downside, these little bits of plastic cost around 180 euros (in Germany), so you'll need to be a dedicated manual user to splash out so much money.

Interesting... how does this compare to the EG-S for off-center focusing?
