I'd rather have a swivel LCD.

Perfect for 13 year-olds taking pictures for the Myspace.

Or are they onto Facebook now?

Who decided to waste research money on that?

I see two buttons and a switch on that entire camera...

There is 3 buttons and 1 switch (for zoom).

On the contrary, I think it could sell well with the consumer crowd. Even at my "ripe old age" of 33, when my friends and I hang out, someone busts out the pocket camera and does the "take a snapshot of me and my friends" arm-reach maneuver. Having an LCD on the front would help them get better snapshots.

This thing isn't for the enthusiast or professional crowd. It's for taking better social gathering snaps. Just look at the other features: face selection, red-eye removal, blemish removal...

I'm not buying it, and I don't expect that anyone hanging out here would, but that doesn't make it a bad idea.
