Not a feature I use often, but one which adds considerably to the value of
Live View. A disappointing omission, IMHO.

Other people consider durability to be more important. A swivel
finder is a signifant weak point in any camera.

Agreed - it's a trade-off, although as you can park the swivel finder with
its screen against the camera body rather than being exposed, that's a
point in the swivel's favour.

And since the camera is intended for people who make heavy use of a
camera it would be considered by most to be a significant liability to
have such a weak point.

Then it becomes just what Canon is selling except that it would cost a
lot more and make the camera much bigger and less durable.
