Sorry. Anyway we'll know more on Tuesday next week (Apr 14th), when Nikon will do its announcements to the press. oops, my mistake, the date I was looking at is probably the member’s registration date.

Look how many notebooks and car radio flipout-displays have problems just after a year of regular use because the wireband begins to mailfunction. In addition, I experienced a big disadvantage when I had a Canon S3 IS in 2006. Because it is a flip-out display and probably weight was a issue for the joints, the display surface was "soft" and not protected like the very solid and hard surfaces of the build-in displays on recent DLSRs. It was expected that you rotate the LCD and turn it's backside to the outside every time to put it back after use. I really prefere the option of a non-rotating screen. Hopefully this "feature" will remain one of the entry class. Alex is totally right.

I really hope Nikon didn't sacrifice screen size/quality to accommodate swivel mechanism. The swivel mechanism takes space, adds weight, brings more points of failure and more surfaces for dust and dirt collection. Nitpicking I know, but I want my camera to be perfect :-) @Driftwood

I'm guessing you can just place it where it normally would be? Why throw away a good camera on a grudge for a feature? @Alex

I've been waiting for D40/D60 replacement, but if this is it, I will have to go with Canon 500D. Damn, I hate those swivel screens.
