It's not shown here, but the rear of the LCD is a latticework of little stainless steel rods designed to let the display articulate. Why not just use a
regular hinge on the side with the ability to rotate the display? Much cleaner, less likely to break. Panasonics have it, I've never had an issue getting
a shot angle.

Hardly a great pretext for slamming it then.

And should have looked harder - it's called the Z9 - R9 is a Canon.

Yes, sorry. Canon released their pro model first. One other camera had this kind of complicated system for articulating the LCD, but I can't remember which camera.

In any case, the stainless steel should be quite strong and tough
enough if the correct grade has been used.
