#55. "RE: D700; Only 95% view-finder coverage?" In response to In response to 54 Sun 20-Jul-08 10:03 PM by heseltine

Having used the Nikon FM with its 95% viewfinder since around 1980, I did not realise the difference between a 95% and 100% viewfinder until I bought a used F3 three years ago and was amazed that the 100% viewfinder appeared so much bigger and easier to work with.
I will compare the D700 with the F6. Which camera I buy will be decided on by the quality of the viewfinder. If they are approximate to each other in quality of view, then I will enter the digital age, though somewhat kicking and screaming.
