Please read my full review on amazon about it when searching for this product.
When rotating the screen the full 270 degrees (or 180 after flipping it open) to take a photo of yourself, it shows your mirror image on the screen (i.e. INVERTED image). If you try to take a photo of yourself the long way (full body shot, vertically), it shows you UPSIDE DOWN! Please note this problem only occurs on screen when rotated the full 180 degrees. This has personally occurred to me on two cameras I purchased through Circuit City and one through Sony. So it looks like this defect is widespread. Additionally, past Sony models with rotating screens like the DSC-M1 and DSC-M2 have not has this issue. Please help spread the word to Sony about this, one voice is not enough!! Thank you for taking the time to read this.
The point is that the 180 degree rotating screen is useless to even have if its not going to let you see yourself properly (in my case, taking a couples shot w/ my gf). And yes, it is a crisis for many who purchased it for that rotating capability.

ZOMG CRISIS. Well maybe you can use the [rotate] button when you're uploading your cheesy photos of yourself to myspace.
