The term "match-needle" was applied to cameras where you matched a needle
against a single index mark long before there WERE cameras that displayed,
for example, a shutter speed scale in the viewfinder with a green bar
indicating the "recommended" exposure.  I suppose this newfangled innovation
could legitemately be called match-needle, but it ain't what the term
originally meant.
