Trouble is, it only works _after_ shooting. If you want to know if individual pixels are clipped, you can't deduce that from a conventional exposure meter--you have to look at all the pixels coming off the sensor, which basically means you have to take the picture.

I'd like to see an indicator in the viewfinder that tells if more than a certain small fraction of pixels have clipping in them.
