Re: Back LCD

Another time I like fully articulated back LCDs is the ability to turn the LCD around and fold it into the camera. This can protect the LCD if you aren't using it (for example when packing the camera for travel, you don't have to worry about the LCD being scratched in a full camera bag). It is also useful when you are shooting in a low light environment from the audience, where you won't annoy your fellow audience members with the electronic screen image.

In my use articulated screen is always closed and folded into the camera, or open at the left. It's never in the position of fixed screens. This makes using fully articulating screen easy and quick. This way the camera is also closer to my body when using LCD, and I can keep the screen tilted. It might not be so useful if I was a left-eye-shooter. Anyway, I recommend trying using it this way.
