Canon 7D--No Swivel LCD

[Atlasman]

Why would they ignore such a large market?

Is it a technological issue?

Is it Canon's a specific strategy to segment this market?

As a working professional in the field of image capture--photography and videography--where I cover a wide range of events, from sporting events, galas and fund-rasers, symposiums, etc.--the swivel LCD can make a significant difference to the final results.

No swivel LCD, but you do get 18 megapixels

If you are new to the news that Canon has announced an EOS-7D DSLR model today, it's not a full frame companion to the 5D, but an further enhancement of the EOS-40D/50D with an 18MP APS-C sensor, the same size as the aforementioned models.

I guess this could change Patrick's aim for his EOS-40D successor?

I'm keeping my 40D, it does the job and until Canon delivers a swivel, no upgrades.
