I'm not a big fan of designs that do this, mostly because I find it more difficult to simultaneously operate the controls and hold the camera steady when they're on the LCD than when they lie under my right thumb. The Function button and joystick, which call up and navigate frequently needed shooting settings, now live on the LCD bezel. The controls remain large and easy to operate, though Canon has relocated many of them. Fortunately, the HF10 doesn't seem to suffer from the usability issues that usually accompany shrinkage.
