 When I tested (and returned) the Sony RX1 I was particularly impressed by
the level in the viewfinder.  Every time the geometry of an image is
changed, such as leveling the image in Photoshop, information (sharpness)
is lost.  Throw in a heads-up histogram in the viewfinder, and while they
may turn out to be annoyances, I think the practical impact is going to be
very significant.

I'm hoping the (rather pathetic) battery life issue with the RX1 related
mostly to the large back screen and will be significantly ameliorated by
the small viewfinder screen.  We'll see.
