CR Editorial about Articulating Screens
I don't think Canon will introduce an articulating screen until we have a faster liveview autofocus technology. There are situations that an articulating screen is handy on an SLR with the current liveview performance, however I don't think it's an issue for a majority of SLR users.
Canon has probably focus grouped this feature to death.
That's just my 2 cents. :)

Does owning a hammer make one a carpenter?
and canon makes better lenses…
Nvidia 9400m and above running on Snow Leopard should playback no problems depending on HDD throughput.
Otherwise if it’s uncompressed editing you’d be better off with an uncompressed hardware card from AJA on the mac: http://www.aja.com/products/kona/kona-lhe-lh.php
or Blackmagic on the PC: http://www.blackmagic-design.com/products/decklink/techspecs/
Both of the hardware card solutions will require a fairly fast RAID array, at least 200MB/s (MegaBytes).
If you have enough RAM you can cache the h.264 footage to it and playback will be fine as long as the Video card can display the frame rate, otherwise you’ll end up with tearing: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screen_tearing
But the uncompressed solution is serious overkill unless you have to have perfect playback and need to output via SDI at the end.
LOL, Well said.
Better primes. If you really had to ask, yes I shoot Canon.
Canon zooms really got nothing on Nikon zooms, and Canon cameras
at the moment are getting murdered. Pro-line anyways.
