Title: does 20D have 3-channel histogram?
Post by: on August 22, 2004, 12:20:52 pm

[font color=\'#000000\']No. This feature is reserved for Canon's new (1D Mk II and probably later) generation 1 Series cameras.

[font color=\'#000000\']It's called product differentiation. Things like 3 colour histograms and spot metering are reserved for higher end models.

It's why your basic Chevy doesn't come with a GPS navigation system.

[font color=\'#000000\']Does the new 20D have a 3-channel RGB histogram, or does it just plot luminosity like the 10D?

This is one feature that's lacking on the 10D and would be really useful.

TIA

[font color=\'#000000\']The question remains then: why? Why not give the 20D an RGB histogram? Surely it can't be that much of a programming challenge (or add much to the cost)?[/font]
