wim - I can see where this would be at least psychologically frustrating, but keep in mind with the 50D and 550D you have tunnel vision even if you can see everything in the view finder with out moving your eye because it isn't a 100% viewfinder in them. You are only seeing the center crop tunnel. At least with the 7D you can move your eye and see the real frame the camera will capture.

Yes, that is all true. However, I don't have this with the 1D series of cameras, or the 5Ds I currently own... <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

It is not as if I am stuck right now, this whole thread was really a follow-up on the "Is the 5D II worth the extra money over the 7D" thread on the old board. I think it is, not only because of the VF, but also for other reasons. I would like a 3D, i.e., a 5D II with the additional stuff the 7D has, but that is another topic <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />.
Kind regards, Wim
