Not to me. But hey, different squids for different kids.

I would like to know, from some one who has used both bodies (D90 and 50D), wich viewfinder is the best??
You do realize you've pretty much just priced out nearly everyone on this board, right? It's a rare, rare shooter who can afford to shoot both systems.

And to all of you, which body is a better investment (since the D90 has been around for a wile)??
Neither. Camera bodies aren't "investments". They depreciate from the day they're introduced (well, assuming it's not a Panasonic in short supply). Their prices drop like stones from the day they're introduced, and just don't stop. Within a year, a brand-new one on a store shelf will have lost anywhere from $100-$200 in value. Getting a better model just means you get more features and better usability. It rarely means you keep it longer. This is like computer equipment. How long do you keep a computer? A cellphone? Did paying for a "better" model mean you kept it longer?

And both the D90 and 50D are long in the tooth and rumored to have an upgrade this fall.
