Okay, although I'd be willing to bet that kind of real time computational processing of a full frame image wouldn't be something that manufacturers could just do, though I could be completely off base.
I guess our expectations for things are all different.
I would expect that a dedicated DSP (like DIGIC) has the performance to do that with sufficient frame rate for the view finder resolution. Reducing global contrast and increasing local contrast is a simple operation in frequency space. Just my guess - I have no proof or sources.
