Originally posted by Nass One other thing - believe it or not the thing that really has me excited about the K1 in terms of marketing is that cool unique flippy out back monitor thing. The videos of people holding the K-1 by that and shaking it about are already doing the rounds; precisely the sort of marketing and testament to ruggedness which does the cam and brand justice.
If you haven't used an articulating rear screen you're in for a treat. Wifi and smart phone control obviates the need for this somewhat, but only with the rig on a tripod (you can do it with one device in each hand, but it's clumsy and hard to reach buttons on the phone one-handed, etc). Taking macro shot without getting your face in the subject, easier shielding from the sun, low angle shots, etc. You don't realize how biased you are to eye-level shots until you start to use it at other levels and angles, and see what you can do with that creatively. Unless you've done a lot of video, where using screens in different positions or off the camera is much more common.
