I believe canon minolta and pentax US built cameras do not have a certain
exposure compensation display as the idea is protected by some US law and
rather than pay a royalty they exclude it. However, outside the US this
problem doesn't apply. This actually means that european cameras are
sometimes marked as 'not for sale in the usa'. I have personally seen this
on the pentax ist packaging.


I don't know *why* the 'not for sale' wording is there but on the
issue of exp compensation, a Minolta will display it on the exp
meter in a split mode. (One LED for selected exposure, one LED
for where the expo would be if not compensated. In A/S modes, a
"correct" exposure would simply show the comensation).
