Hi, Chris,
I've had a Canon Powershot A620 for a couple years, and especially get a
kick out of the display-finder. It swivels 360 degrees and tilts so that I
can take photos of myself or shots of something whilst I'm at odd indirect
angles to it. Never saw a camera do that before.
There's a brief hesitation after depressing the exposure button, but I don't
find that off-putting. I'm no camera wonk, so thus please weigh my words!
