having done events, i dare say that having an articulating lcd on a pro body would be a freaking useful feature to have.
opinions?
Definitely a useful feature. If want live-view, put articulating screen! Or else it defeats the purpose.

Somehow, even though it has been ard for a while, Canon thinks its own articuLCD is not good enough for DSLRs. Wonder what are the design constraints.
just my personal take on this
its a very useful feature that should be creeping into more DSLRs over the next few seasons ...... i think the main thing is NOT the engineering (its been around for donkey years with quite a few of the older PnS models)...... but managing the power efficiency and consumption and just plain ol' physical space management aspect of the feature
look at the G11........... and compare the diff between it and the G10's LCD.... on paper it looks just a tiny bit smaller but actual side by side comparisons show a very marked difference
I agree with this!
just that the d5000 has the screen on the wrong place...... no batt grip! ;(
the pentex has them done correctly.
I thought Canon has the best design for the articulating screen. Perhaps they have the copyright so others are not able to use the same design?
whoops, lumix, i think

it's 270 deg, you can't spin the screen around, but it does cover almost any angle you need. been using the e3 and e30 for a year now, i won't consider it a make-or-break feature, but it is extremely useful for low or high shots. very useful for tripod shooting as wellOlympus is the first to have articulating 360 deg lcd on a dslr and it is weathersealed. The e620 is now the most advanced but not weatherproof.
