I think Minolta had one with a rear-panel LCD. It would give you such
information as your depth of field - with near and far distance limits
- for the lens, aperture and focus distance you had set. I'd like to
have that feature now and I'm surprised no one offers it.
A few years ago I suggested that to Pentax (I had the occasion to talk to
someone at the parent company in Japan, not an importer). They replied they
did not want to do it because then users will complain that their pictures
are not sharp enough within the given depth of field.
One could argument against that opinion, but I know that if they don't see a
reason, they don't see a reason, hence I gave up after just thinking a few
bad things.
