P&S cameras that have blinkies in full-screen view?

<p>For large-format photography I find that checking the blown-highlight view (blinkies) on an SLR can be helpful in determining exposure especially with chromes. Tired of shlepping an SLR around just as a meter, I'm looking for a P&S that can set/display aperture/shutterspeed AND can display blinkies in full-screen mode, not just in partial/histogram mode. Is there such a camera?</p>

<p>I just tried this with the Panasonic LX3, and it blinks when the picture is in full-screen mode. You can optionally toggle to showing the histogram as an insert (while still showing the full-screen photo) and that shows the blinkies, as well. They show up both immediately after taking the photo as well as during playback.</p>

<p>I'm really happy with the LX3. </p>

<p>I would also suggest the LX3 for its availability of this particular feature. JR</p>

<p>Excellent! Pleased to learn that a P&S I'd be interested in anyway has this feature. I've always been intrigued by the LX3 from dpreview's glowing <a href="http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/PanasonicDMCLX3/page17.asp">review</a> , and it sounds like the ticket here. Thanks to you both.</p>

<p>You mean like this: zebra for blown highlights and separate per channel histogram? </p>

<p>Note that this is on a live view. The result of aperture and exposure adjustments show up right away, without need to actually trip the shutter.<br>

<p>As always, go pick up a <a href="http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/CHDK">Canon P&S supported by CHDK</a> . </p>

<p>I'll tell ya, I've this loaded on a Canon A720 compact. In addition, a little script lets me toggle the zoom to the same field of view I use with my RB-67. This combination makes for a wonderful, accurate and very quick to use light meter.</p>

<p>Canon S90 supports the blinkies. I would imagine the G11 does also.</p>

<p>Both my Nikon and Panasonic have this useful feature, you need to check the model that you like.</p>

<p>Any Canon Powershot currently supported CHDK can do that for you. My SX200 does it, even with "just" a beta version of CHDK. Blinkies, zebra, and lots of other useful things to.</p>
