Hmm, yeah, I was only looking for Astro purposes with LiveView so that didnt matter. My SONY A77 has an articulated screen, been very useful when in amongst crowds or low level shots. Although for motorsports I still revert to the EV screen, easier to track\pan and frame\zoom when they are going past at mega speed. It does 12 frames per second at full res (24 M), another advantage of no mechanical mirror.
It's worth getting a good tripod as well. I 'mono' it at motor events ( one leg down ) but great for long exposure day or night. We have a night time light festival coming up in a month or so I want to capture so looking forward to using it all there.
Tripod is also great for HD video which I've used at a Xmas carol event ( A77 does good stereo sound as well ). Keeps movements nice and smooth.
