The D5100 line had a fully articulating arm for its LCD and it worked great when I owned the camera.

Why did Nikon put a crippled, tilt only, LCD on the D750? It only goes to 90 or 75o too.

Was the D5100 a repair nightmare or something?

My guess is that is was easier to weather seal. Maybe the fully articulating screen couldn't be weather sealed adequately.

According to

, they made it tilt-only so they can retain the set of buttons on the left of the camera for consistency with other bodies.

I'm thankful that they didn't make it the same as the D5300's.. those look like they can break easily if you handled them wrong. The tilt LCD looks more robust; kinda like a plasma tv wall mount.

Easier to seal and more robust than the D5x00 hinge.

Anti selfie

Pro everything else, along with being more robust.

I think they did good, time will tell. How drastic would it be if people's lcds are getting knocked off might have to pull out a light meter, heaven forbid

not Pro everything else, as there are some close quarters that require the screen off to the side
