Oh, well, I > said it was a silly thought. Sony did that with the DSC-R1. http://a.img-dpreview.com/reviews/SonyDSCR1/Images/specsview.jpg http://a.img-dpreview.com/reviews/SonyDSCR1/Images/lcdmonitor03.jpg http://a.img-dpreview.com/reviews/SonyDSCR1/Images/lcdmonitor02.jpg I liked it, but it makes for a very deep, boxy camera and the design wasn't all that popular in the marketplace. And that was with a much smaller than current vogue LCD. (The R1 produced lovely photographs, but its 2-frame raw buffer and write speed made it a bit of a pain in use for my photography. A good number of other owners, doing landscape work, really loved it.) -- Godfrey godfreydigiorgi.posterous.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
