The best post so far IMO. The PEN really looks like a fantastic little street shooter, but it has been ruined unfortunately, by the two points you made.

Every camera is ruined with the side articulating screen. The tilt is still the best choice, regardless that you get one shot from the thousand that is more difficult to take vertically and angled up/down over 15 degrees so you have difficulties to see the screen.

The side articulating screen is legacy of the old technlogical limitations that required to find a other way to get the screen tilted up/down when everything else took so much space.

The Fuji is first one to solve that problem of vertical shooting past 15 degree angle up/down in X-T2 and X-T3. Best screen hinge design ever made.

Absolutely. The fully articulating screens are not good. I can appreciate the screen facing the subject, but not like that. Actually, I think the Fujifilm X-T100 is the absolute best, because it has the usual up/down tilting that I use every day, but also flips forward on the side hinge, which I think is more useful than the extra tilt right. Personally speaking, I would more likely take advantage of vlogging than of vertical compositions that demand tilting the screen.
