Hey Todd,
Thanks for your response. Using a monitor to exposure gauge is a good idea, so thanks for that. My second question was perhaps not well worded. What I meant to ask is that zebra stripes are so useful for proper exposure on video cameras, why haven’t DSLRs adopted them? I would imagine that stripes would be very helpful for still photographers. But after pondering it a few days, I realize that history has probably the biggest pull. SLRs have historically been analog, and thus no one needed zebra bars. DSLRs try to mimic analog/film SLRs, so they don’t include zebra stripe options even though they include video.
Thanks again for the response. And your e35 camera looks cool.
Tim
