At the workshop last weekend, one of the sessions I attended was on field portraiture and lighting. The photographer giving the talk used a camera fitted with WiFi ... He had the camera set to RAW+JPEG and set to produce monochrome JPEGs. His field setup (shoots of political and sports folks where you get no time to work) transferred the JPEG to the laptop screen so he could see at a glance what an exposure captured ... both lighting and expresion... quickly, without squinting into the LCD and distracting the subject. The subject could also see the exposure, if the photographer chose to set it up that way, and react to it which generated yet more options... It looks useful, in other words. And could be useful in a variety of ways.
