With the hinge on the bottom instead of the left side, it seems like the movement will be restricted when the camera is mounted on a tripod. It would not be possible to take self portraits using the LCD screen using a tripod with this design, for example. A screen that opens to the left will have a full range of motion. Plenty of other cameras have it, and it's mind boggling that Nikon hasn't figured this out! There seems to be a very basic and annoying problem with the swivel screen LCD.
