Is that a 60D with a swivel screen? I've looked at the original under a high zoom and enhanced the shadows a bit...and I think this is legitimate. I didn't see any&nbsp;tell-tale&nbsp;signs of pixel manipulation, so to my eyes, this is the real deal. And as the owner of a D5000, I have to say that I think Canon got this one right - the D5000 flips down, and this flips out - I think flipping out gives you more versatility. What say you Digital Home Thoughts readers? Is this a real image of a forthcoming Canon camera, or clever Photoshopping?</p>

This looks the same as the screen on my Canon G11. I like it a lot. It swings out and can be rotated up or down. If you turn it away from you (screen forward), it can be used for arm's length self-portraits. :-)

Although I prefer using the eye-level viewfinder for most shots, there are times when an adjustable display is handy - and Canon has certainly had experience with swivel / rotating viewfinders in the past.

This is a feature I would consider a "competitive advantage" (all else being equal, of course - which it seldom is!) - and was one that factored into the purchase of my S3 IS....
