Anyone else waiting for a swivel screen?

Mar 18, 2011

Now that Pentax has "live view" I can't understand why they didn't add a swivel screen. I'm willing to add another body to my system and delegate my K2000 to "second body" duty but it isn't going to happen until the K5 Gets a swivel LCD.

I love TLR style shooting and a swivel screen is so key to certain situations that not having it seems like a real handicap. I know it may sound silly to some but I've reached a point where it make me second guess my decision to commit to Pentax. It just seems like such a natural evolutionary step and one more upgrade cycle without it, a glaring omission.

Am I the only one waiting for this feature?
