After Nikon included such a screen on D5000 back in April of 2009, Canon seems to be ready to embrace the feature in its own DSLRs.

According to a member of Israeli forum d-spot.co.il, Canon’s next prosumer and entry level DSLRs, the 60D and 550D/600D, will both have articulating screens and begin shipping in May. If you’re not sure what an articulating screen is, here’s what it looks like on the Nikon D5000:

Here’s a full list of specs that were posted:

60D Specs
- Articulating screen
- Metal body, similar To 50D
- Upgraded 15.1mp APS-C Sensor
- 720p/1080p Video at 30fps
- Electronic Level
- New battery & battery grip
- Price about $1190

550D/600D Specs
- Articulating screen
- Body smaller than 500D
- Upgraded 15.1mp APS-C Sensor
- 720p Video at 30fps
- Price about $799

Do the specs seem realistic? What are your thoughts on the possibility of articulating screens being introduced into the Canon line?
