Flexible, live action monitor in G12-valuable photo tool

[lesmore49]

Mostly I'm a DSLR photographer, but I bought a small Canon G12 a few months ago.

DSLR controls in a small body...very good ISO range....robust build.

I do like the flexible, live action monitor. The different angles for photography that I can get...easily...using this little monitor are fabulous.

I know this monitor is not only a G12 feature...but I am extolling this feature on any advanced compact or DSLR.

I think I'm getting interesting angles that I would never have tried before...due to not having the body of a contortionist.

How do others assess this feature ?
