Re: Canon S1 IS or Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ3?
Cameras that allow you more control over exposure, give you Histograms which are invaluable in determining if you exposed your shot properly. Playback or Review Histograms are shown after the image has been shot, but a Live Histogram is superimposed on the Live Preview on the LCD screen when you're composing the shot. This is a tremendous help in 'predicting' the exposure and being able to adjust and see the resulting outcome before taking the shot.
