After using my Finepix S1800 for some time, I have recently needed to return to my old Canon EOS 500 film camera and was amazed at the brightness and size of the viewfinder image after the Finepix. If I get a lower rangeDigital SLR (say Canon 1100d ) can I expect at least such a good viewfinder image as the old Canon? As an artist I often take photos of paintings and the accuracy and clarity of the viewfinder image are vital. Any guidance would be welcome.

Viewfinders vary from camera to camera with DSLR's just the same as with film SLR's. If you want clear vision you need a camera with a large bright OPTICAL viewfinder as apposed to an electronic viewfinder. A camera with a particularly good viewfinder is a Nikon D90, but you need to go to a camera shop and try a few.
