JVC's latest camcorder isn't apt to make your jaw drop with a sensational list of features, but if you're looking for an innovative way to handle just the basics, this sucka just may do the trick. The GR-DA20 SD camcorder offers up a 1/6-inch 800k pixel CCD sensor, 34x optical zoom, a 16:9 widescreen mode, 3D noise filter, and records onto those tried and true MiniDV tapes. Furthermore, this unit boasts a 2.4-inch color LCD monitor that slides vertically to provide a much wider range of viewing angles for the shooter, and the Digital Color NightScope function makes low-light recording a bit more feasible. Sadly, there's been no mention of a projected price point or release date.[Via LetsGoDigital]
...and this is better than the regular fold-out-and-twist because of what?
Because your perspective as the person shooting is right behind the camera, as if you were looking through a glass viewfinder. It helps when you are quickly pointing and shooting.

That LCD is going to need a hood for sunlight then. That's what the eyepiece is supposed to do, let you see what the heck it's recording when the LCD panel would be washed out.
