Joe,
If I may be allowed to be argumentative for a minute, do you use C1? Or Phocus? Do you use Photoshop?
IMHO better camera integration means better communication, but it also means moving more of the very labor-intensive manual image processing abilities directly into the capture workflow. Eg. being able to see perspective corrections at shoot time. If I want to shoot a picture of my house, I would like to be able to stand anywhere in front of it, mark my zone of interest to the camera, take some images by walking around, and then ask the camera to let me choose my point of view for the "perspective corrected money shot" on which of course all cars , pedestrians, lamp-posts and rubbish bins have been removed. And yes, I would like the camera to show me in the viewfinder what depth map it has created and what it knows it can retouch out, and where it still needs me to set up and take some more images so it has the data it needs. Yes, even if that entails stepping around a parked car and taking a closeup.

I know this is how many amateurs and hobbyists think, but it does not work like that.
You pick one composition and then you pure your heart and soul into that one composition, making it the best you can possibly make it. Doing otherwise is futile at best, and a waste of time.
I have found repeatably that when I shoot on the fly or allow my focus to be spread out amongst too many subjects or compositions, the work is never anything worth keeping.

PS. Insofar as depth maps and etc., if your energy is spent almost everyday taking pictures, where it is most often the only thing you think about, and you spend countless hours honing your craft, learning your gear and lenses, then you should be able to see those depth maps, and etc, and how your various lenses will render the subject in your head without giving too much thought, even before you look through the view finder. If after all these hours you can't, you may have picked the wring line of business.
