The new larger 1.8” "vari-angle" LCD covers 360 degrees of rotation, giving users the option to shoot from different positions.

Nope, it does not turn 360 degrees. It only turns 270 degrees around the horizontal axis.

However, it also flips out, which is 90 degrees of rotation around the vertical axis. This sums up to 360 degrees total.

You should sue them. ;)
I mean, it's pretty easy to prove that 270° in one plane plus 90° in a perpendicular plane will not add up to 360° no matter how hard you try to add'em.

I was considering suing. In dreams, I can do a lot of things, you know. Reality is somewhat different.

I wonder how this would look in Belarussian. When I was in Belarus (a couple of days this January), I bought a book on Belarussian in Belorussian, but it's a difficult reading and I do not have time anyway. I like reading it, though: because Belarussian spelling is phonetic-based (not etymology-based, like Russian), it looks like it was written by a child. Still, no time. :-(
