I wonder why they don't put the DOF scale in the viewfinder or on the back LCD. The camera knows which distance the lens is focused at, it knows the focal length, it knows the aperture so it should be able to calculate the far and near distance.
I can't think of a reason why they don't have that feature on mirrorless cameras. My Panasonic bridge camera (FZ200) shows a dynamic DOF scale when manual focus is engaged; very useful when setting hyperfocal distance. I always thought it could use some improvement, like a distance estimation, rather than having it eliminated entirely with the micro Four Thirds models.
