Flip-Out Screen
On some cameras, the LCD screen on the back can rotate and pivot, like the one on a camcorder. This arrangement lets you shoot a parade over the crowd in front of you. You can shoot pets and babies without having to squat or kneel. And you get infinitely better photos of camera-shy subjects, because you can smile and make eye contact instead of hiding your face behind a piece of Darth Vader equipment.
