Yup, exactly. Heck, even assuming I'm always manually focusing so AF
doesn't come into it, a live view screen that doesn't flip out wouldn't
be all that useful to me most of the time.
That's why I had a Coolpix 4500, and that's why I have an E-330 -- for
some of what I do, cameras where you don't have to look through (or
parallel to) the viewfinder are a _huge_ improvement. It's not
impossible to take those shots the normal way, of course, but it's
certainly a lot easier on the neck..
