AEK Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 I will be purchasing an A7C size Sony full frame at some point, but I’m waiting for Sony to make a flippy screen iteration, as opposed to fully articulating. Am I the only one waiting for this? To me, articulating screens are cumbersome and pointless, and feel fragile. I am surprised so many new Sonys have the fully articulating screens, when the high end Sonys have up/down flippy screens. Oh, AND so does the Leica Q3… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pieter Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 Impossible to please everyone... Sony persisted on flippy screens for a decade but people demanded articulating screens. Sony made articulating screens to please them but then other people wanted their trusty old flippy screens. Sony made an articulating / flippy screen on the A7R5 in a desperate attempt to please everyone, but then there's people like you who complain it is too flimsy... Ironic. - Happy flippy screen user Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunWithCameras Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 What do you mean by a flippy screen? I thought the A7C cameras all had the same screen, and it's the flip out and twist type. Do you mean the up down tilt? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FunWithCameras Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 Cool. I prefer up/down tilt over flip out and twist because tilt works better for waist level shooting (in landscape). But my favourite now is the A7RV, which gives me both. They mounted a flip out and twist screen in a tilt cradle. I get to tilt for waist level landscape orientation, and flip out for waist level portrait orientation. Plus I can turn the screen inwards. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
