Note, that most M43 cameras have articulating display, not tilt as A6500. If you like to shoot from the belly, it will be a problem. That's the reason why I choose GX9.

Articulating screen actually allows keeping the camera closer to your body, but perhaps this was not the point.

It is not the point: keeping camera close to your body activate sensor-switch between EVF and LCD. Articulating screen becomes OFF line.

To shoot from belly means to shoot from belly level, that is it

Huh? Yes, it is the point, that with an articulating screen like that, you can keep the camera closer to your body (your belly...). And you can just cancel the auto EVF switch with a click or two on a function button.

Yes, you can - just for 1 shot only.

I have my G85 configured so that the rear screen is always on when it's deployed or facing outwards. My default is to have it turned inwards since I rarely use it except for "belly shooting." So for me, the screen comes on and stays on whenever I use it. No button pushing at all.

Got it! I think I'm lazy to do this configuration: I deploy LCD mostly for flowers close-ups, when I do not want to stretch myself on the ground, or when I need special angles of view. I do it simply creating a space between camera and belly.

Cheers
