Well I went and shot a job last night with the Nikon D300 just a silly cocktail party at night though. There is one feature that I just loved on the D300 and it is really simple. There is a button on the backside that gives you the Top LCD panel data and puts it on the Big LCD on the back and illuminates to see it and also I don't need my reading glasses to see the controls on the top deck. This is really a nice feature since i can make changes to shutter and aperture , ISO , Exp comp and others right from this big bright viewing area. I have to say with the M8 at night in the dark there is no way i can see the top panel with shutter speeds. We really need to know what shutter speed we are at either through a switch like Nikon does or inside the finder that shows what you are at in manual. Honestly this is just a firmware deal to incorporate the shutter in the finder like it is with A mode. That data needs to be there in manual mode and display the shutter value. Now they could also add a simple minus and plus arrow on either side of the shutter to tell you your over or under and if exposure is dead on the shutter value lights up or a quick blink. Just something simple like this. Lights up if you are under and lights up if you are over. Nothing glaring but just a slight glow

I would like to see this forum come up with some really nice well thought idea's that firmware only can enhance the M8 as it is today. No hardware changes this is strictly tweaking the firmware to make it work better for the user. Than I would like to send this to Stefan Daniels to take a look at. They have to be simple though and doable.
Anybody game for this exercise.
