Absolutely.

And actually, I love the DMR-specific focussing screen which shows the
full 35mm format, but puts up a frameline around where the DMR sensor
lies.  It thus manages to include one of the best characteristics of
rangefinder photography, being able to see what's around the picture
you're now aimed at (and either about to move into the frame, or maybe
a better choice to include in the frame).  AFAIK, no other SLR does
that, for pretty clear reasons, and probably none will.  And I wish
they all did that.

But on the 5D side... I can't believe I waited 'til last week to put
an Eg-S screen in my 5D Mk II.  It makes the finder seem almost like a
real camera.  I mean, it's no R8, but it's a whole lot better.
