Most DSLRs with a 'cropfactor' seem to have smaller viewfinders than full frame models but I've got a Canon EOS50E film camera plus Olympus OM1 which are both 35mm full-frame cameras but the OM1's viewfinder image is noticeably bigger (and brighter).
Incidentally, if you've got something like the OM1 which has a range of interchangeable focus screens you can fit a 'clear' type and see just how bright your lenses really are - it comes as quite a shock to see how much light the normal screens soak up in order to give you a focussed image across the frame (you have to use the microprism in the middle of the clear screen to accurately determine correct focus).
