The Z7 has a pretty crude electronic spirit level but even so it's a great help when you're holding the camera high over your head and looking up into the turned-down screen.
I've just had a play with Sony's Alpha 55 DSLR and this has a beautiful electronic spirit level that reacts to tilt and yaw and is incredibly sensitive. No more leaning verticals in architectural photography or sloping horizons in holiday shots
Thing is I want this on my NX5's screen, I really do. Don't know why, but I find it very difficult to judge the camera's horizontal leanings when I'm trying to shoot over the heads of the crowd.
