I remember back in the old days when we didn’t even have those fancy pants LCD screens. Now all you kids have those… those swiveling ones! God I feel old, maybe it’s because the first bride I shot wore gloves and her dress had caps sleeves with a full lace bodice. Or maybe… oh hell I’m just old! 
But I digress because a swivel screen is USEFUL in two ways.
- You’re one of those new fangled fusion video shooters and you can’t be bothered to look through the old viewfinder. Kids these days I tell ya!
- You’re looking to emulate that fashion feel and using a live view LCD as if it was a waist level viewfinder can help you do rock it old school. Think I’m making it up? Fire up a few fashion rag websites look at the photos and you’ll notice a trend towards belly button level shooting.
Ok sure, it would be useful other ways as well but those are the two that I think are most useful. How would you use a swiveling viewfinder? and do you think they are useful?
