I'd love that stupid tilting LCD screen on my D700! Can't see a single negative side of having the stupid tilting LCD screen.

Well the resolution of the LCD was massively reduced on the D5000 (230,000 dots) from the D90/D300/D700 (920,000 dots), and also the hinge at the bottom seems a stupid idea imho. Makes it virtually useless for tripod work. No way to face forward. :bonk:

my s9600 has a tilting lcd, but it tilts up and down. I put it on a tripod and look down into it, or I tilt it the other way and hold camera nice and high. I just wish it had a swivel so I could turn the camera portrait and use it.....

Had a swivelling screen on my Canon G2 and 5 years ago and very useful being able to turn it around to protect the screen fully and when using it on macro...other than that, well I have never used LiveView on my D300 yet.

...and we all come with our own built-in tilting thing. It's called a neck.

The only thing i can see wrong with the stupid tilt thing as we seem to be calling it hehe, is the fact that there is more chance of something going wrong with it, look back when sony and fujifilm brought the tilt things out, i remember the catch breaking on mine and after about 18 months the video was getting a bit flakey on the swivel disply. Im usually the one to look after my kit, just dont want this to end in tears.. thats my only gripe >.>

I see video and tilt as pointless, if it had AF then maybe as you can get great DOF which you cant on a consumer camcorder, but until then I will happily use my camcorder. Plus, I read that used too long the sensor can overheat!
I only use my screen to review pics, no need to tilt.

Yep!
Yaaaaaaawn...I think I've given up on guessing if all these rumours that pop up are true or not...someone wake me up when there is mention of these new camera's on the Nikon website!

If you can tilt your your head round the back of the camera when taking a pic of yourself in front of it, then well done.
