[OM] Re: Woe is Me - Bridge Camera Fallout

[Jez . Cunningham]

I'm thinking about a bright optical viewfinder with a real-time electronic
blinking highlights / histogram overlay - like Levels in Photoshop when you
hold down the Alt-key..  I don't think it's far off - we already have all
the pieces (optical viewfinders with electronic overlays that show the
focus point, or display grid lines...)

I don't think so. A histogram is something you look at after the shot,
which
doesn't help when you can't reshoot. Even a live histogram might not be
useful for this unless you can watch it and the viewfinder, adjust the
controls, follow your subject and not trip over something. And a histogram
won't tell you how you exposed some particular part of the scene (though a
good screen might be able to).

That said, I am looking forward to having histograms.
