Swivel LCD ... no worries, nikon body is very solid; of coz u not drop it la... swivel lcd have extra benefits whereby u may take self photos. raise higher cam to take better view, n most of all if u not using it, the lcd can closed lcd facing the body, extra protection from getting dusty, scratch and unwanted/accidental pressure. small viewfinder, for me still ok la... the rest , let them answer... Camera recording, well yes... sometime dslr can takes video is not a bad function at all, altho the quality is not that great but sometime wanna taking its precious moment, i think it should serve a great instrument if u lazy carrying a videocamera and dslr with u la... d90 cease production!? No idea... anyway, good luck in choosing one! ouhh.. thanx for the input for the swivel lcd thingy.. hehehe... alllright.. will inform u if i got d90 with that price...
