Must say I was surprised by what you said in that other thread, and in this one. I must say I don't wear glasses, but I shot over 4,000 pics with my 7D at the weekend (incidentally all on one charge of one LP-E6, which I found a remarkable performance), and found that even with sunglasses I could see the whole screen no problem.

Hi Nick,
As I mentioned in the previous thread too, I do have weird eyes, which may contribute to this. However, I also think that this is something to consider before buying a camera anyway.
I have been using FF dslr cameras for close on two years now, and my conclusion is that I can't really go back to APS-C, except maybe to the 550D as an additional, lighter camera (although I am really hoping for Canon to come out with an RF type camera with interchangeable lenses <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
' />).
Obviously, this may be different for other people.
The original thread was about the 7D vs 5D II, whether the latter was worth the extra cost, and my main argument was really about what is important to the user/buyer, and this is different for everybody. What I personally didn't like were some of the blanket type statements made. I do think that both your experience and mine are both valid, and essentially indicate that what is good or works for one, may not be optimal for the other, and vice versa.
Kind regards, Wim
