Digital cameras with a twist: LCDs that move, so you don't have to

If everything you wanted to shoot were at eye level, then we'd probably be OK with the huge, stationary LCDs on most digital cameras. But if your view of the world is slightly askew, or you simply can't lie on the floor, climb on a chair, or otherwise reposition yourself to get the shot you want, then it makes sense for your camera to do it for you. These models have LCDs that flip out and twist around for at least 270 degrees of photographic freedom. You may ask why there aren't more cameras with this oh-so-useful design: in cameras--and most small devices, in fact, including flip phones--the hinge is one of the most fragile parts, and many manufacturers don't want to deal with the resulting support and warranty issues. Only Canon offers this feature across several product lines. So if you do opt for one of these flexible models, treat it with care.
