Hi,
The Contax RX does something similar to what you want with their
digital focus indicator:
"The DFI (Digital Focus Indicator) system graphically portrays focus point and
provides depth of focus information in the viewfinder."
It displays along the bottom of the viewfinder. It doesn't tell you
the distance focused on, but everything else you want is there. I
switched it off on mine after a few months because I found it
distracting, but it can be useful in low light.
