Update Feb 5, 2015: maybe this is all a fake rumor?

Update Mar 28, 2015: Looks like a fake after all. Dang.

Assuming it does what it sounds like, my wish for a true raw histogram has been granted, and on the best DSLR ever made no less.

For photographers using Nikon RAW (NEF) mode, the most exciting new feature is Nikon’s new RAW Histogram. This feature displays impressive full-screen histograms for all 3 color channels (red, green and blue) simultaneously, based on data directly from the image sensor.

The new feature allows advanced photographers to fine-tune perfect exposure for each shot. RAW Histogram is available for all cameras in the “I AM Advancing” program.
