Originally posted by Zephos What is with that lcd screen? does it come off completely or something? Why does it have a carriage underneath it?
One of the early pictures showed it deployed at an angle; it is supported by several struts. The discussion following that picture led to several guesses as to why they chose that unorthodox design (besides the fact that Pentax likes to do things differently). My
personal guess is that this provides most of the flexibility of a fully articulated screen in a smaller package and keeps the screen behind the camera at all times (instead of prominently off to the side like a camcorder).
