LCD attachment on the Olympus E-600

The LCD screen on the Olympus E-600 is flexibly attached to the body. In particular, the LCD is hinged on the side and can be flipped out for odd-angle shots in both portrait and landscape orientation.

Moreover, v-loggers like the design because the screen can be turned to be front-facing.
