At least it answers the main question that I had. The info at the bottom IS shown.


Waist level shooting without hunching up is looking good.

For ~$150 it's worth a shot to add odd-angle viewing.

LCD preview on an SLR .. who says it's not needed or wanted? ;)

I wouldn't expect miracles from it, but for framing the shot over your head in a crowd or avoiding lying in mud from below, it does have a use.

In my opinion live preview is still not needed (or wanted) for normal shooting, but, like a viewfinder angle adapter, it definately would be a handy accessory for framing shots at odd angles, or for shooting over obstacles (like crowds). A nice accessory that doesn't suck the camera battery dry.

An articulating/swivel mount LCD is the one feature that I miss from my CP990 (along with BSS).

An even bigger question is where can I buy one?

I've seen it on eBay for around $200 + $12 shipping (U.S.) A nice little device! :D

Thanks Rambler. I forgot about this little "accessory".
