If instead of a match-needle exposure you see an LED bar graph,
does it make a difference?  I am asking because one of my
cameras seems to do exactly that.  PLUS, something that the
match-needle cameras never did, you have the OPTION (note:
OPTION) to have the camera select the indicated exposure.  Seems
that it offers more options than the the older cameras.  And it
weighs about 1/2 as much.  My older match-needle camera is
resting in peace waiting for some astrophotographic 10 hour
exposures to come handy.
