Chris,
  I think what fulled you is the distance between the viewfinder and your eye.  
  I never held the Nikon, but a friend of mine bought the Rebel and my 
experience was the opposite of yours.  I use viewfinder to compose only and 
always have difficulties with the ones that bring the image too close to my 
eye...usually the horizon gets tilted...:)
  3am is ok

A few times in my sordid past I've handled C*n 300D & 350Ds and I've
always been appalled at the tiny, tiny viewfinder.

Comparing the specs I had written off the N*n D70s for the same reason.

A couple of days ago I was photographing my niece in the studio at
college using an RB67. After two rolls of Portra I thought why not 
shoot
some digital? So i took a D70s from the stores. Some hours later it
struck me that I hadn't noticed anything lacking in the viewfinder. Yet
the figures suggest it should be slightly worse than the C-machine in
the minusculity stakes.

So why does 95% x 0.75 cause me less grief (fewer griefs?) than 95% x 
0.8 ?

And is it right to be asking these kind of questions at 3am?
