Re: DSLR - No meter needed

[Mark Cassino]

You are right, but I think it should be emphasized that reading the 
histogram is the key to success in this.  Relying on the output form the 
LCD can be a recipe for disaster - it really looks different in different 
light and with different brightness settings.

One advantage of a DSLR is the instant review. Just take the shot,
read the highlights/histogram, and adjust accordingly.
It's not perfect, mainly because the image review screen is so small.
But a histogram, and a feature to show blown highlights, plus the
ability to zoom in, makes for some pretty useful instant feedback.
It's good enough that most don't really mind the camera's inability to
meter with non-CPU lenses. One shot gives more information than a
reading from an incident or spot meter.
