I've always wondered why cameras have the viewfinder on the top at

Why not just turn the camera upside down?

Because then all your pictures turn out upside down ;)

No problem, just stand on your head to look at them.

Made me laugh out loud. But this *is* a valid issue when using a camcorder
to record movies.


iMovie can actually turn them back the right way up

Most camcorders have a flip-out screen which avoids the problem. I have to
ask; why are you using a camcorder to record movies?

On my old camcorder, battery life on flip out screen - 40mins, on
viewfinder LCD 70mins.....and yes I did still use the big lcd most of
the time.
