I found those statistics over at DPReview. The figures work between systems where the crops are the same, but Canon (1.6x) is not comparable to Sony/Nikon/Pentax/Samsung (1.5x), and these aren't comparable to Four Thirds formats Olympus/Panasonic (2x)

The Sony a700's viewfinder is larger than the Canon 40D; both are 0.9x and 95% coverage, but the Sony is magnifying the same percentage of a larger image area than the Canon.
