This could actually end up being pretty cool...hadn't thought of it being an easier way to set AF points.

I wish they'd put a swivel touchscreen on the 5DIII.

... you can flip it to protect the screen when not in use.

Is it a captive or a resistive touch screen? Resistive is cheaper to produce. It makes a huge difference in ease of use. Your phone has a captive screen, responds to light touches. I have a Lumix GF2, it has a resistive screen, you have to really press it, so much that they even include a stylus when you buy it. I don't find it useful at all, even for choosing focus points. I use the physical buttons instead.

According to the just-posted spec list, it's capacitive.

The thing that worries me about a touch screen is that I am left eyed, what happens to it when I put the camera up to my eye and my nose presses against the rear screen?
