Swivel Screen Cameras

[KingstonU]

This is one feature I want in my next camera. And I am not talking about tilt screens like the this Sony A350 I mean fully able to rotate towards me to take self pictures. Don't seem to be too many out there that have this. Currently, modern ones I have found are:

P&S
Canon PowerShot SX10 IS
Canon PowerShot SX1 IS

D-SLR
Panasonic Lumix G1
Panasonic Lumix GH1
Olympus E-620


I wish the PowerShot SX200 IS had a swivel screen.

Anyone know of others that are reasonably modern?

Very appreciated, thanks

Canon S5 IS...technically may have been replaced by the SX10 but still a good camera with swivel screen.

The S5 IS looks great, it just has the older Digic 3 image processor while the newer have Digic 4. Is there a noticable difference between the two?

I truly wish that Canon made either the SX1 or SX10 be able to record in 720p like their other cameras (SX200).

SX10 only records in 640x480, which seems too small
SX1 records in 640x480 and 1080p but not in between

1080p seems like too large a file to be practical. Though I'm not sure of the exact file size in some form of MB/hour.

And Canon's video format is in QuickTime format? Why?Why?Why?Why????

i think my FZ20 is the same way. what's the point in shooting video in what is technically (for joe blow) a locked-down format? they might as well be recording in realvideo 😕

swivel screens take up a lot of room. though i'm surprised the rebel 500 doesn't have one. seems like the next big feature for consumerific bodies.

And my Canon S3 has a swivel screen. I find it very useful, especially for closeup tech pics.
