Which is better: tilt vs fully articulating screen?

2 years 1 month ago #734021 by Travis Brunson
I'm shopping around for a new camera to upgrade my very dated 5D Mark IV and would like to hear from you guys, which is better having a tilt screen or something that is fully articulating?  

Which do you prefer?

Fully articulating. Depends on what you are doing. selfie or seeing a your self  being video recorded is the advantage.

Do you feel you lose LCD viewing size when you go with fully articulating one?

Compared to what? Standard size is 3.2 inch for most non movable displays for DSLRs
Canon r5 has a 3.15 can I see .05" difference? I don't think so.
All the A7's have 2.95 to 3" The Sony A1 has the smallest which is 2.95, again can I see .25 or quarter of an inch difference? Maybe?
And the Nikon z series all have 3.2"

Moving parts decrease the reliability of any device.

Articulating all the way, I don't like tilt screens.  Just two restrictive.

:agree:

Though some of my cameras do have a tilt that I haven't had to
use yet, it is true that it can be useful when shooting overhead
or close to the ground but else…

Light is free… capturing it is not!

Fully articulating, if you sometimes take photos in crazy positions like I have.

But I also have a 7" 4K battery operated monitor that I can add to the camera or use it on an HDMI extension for off camera. It's normally for video, but works fine for crazy position still shots too.

G'day Travis

I've been using articulated screens for so long now that I would never go to a camera that did not have a fully articulated rear panel. Twelve years of using such screens, never had any issues with electrical connectivity (same with laptops too) ... but the ability to swing the camera body into heaps of odd positions then swivel the rear screen so that I can compose etc. - magic!

Hope this helps
