(SR2) A77 with directional side-hinged LCD (a new design not yet seen before)???

A new source sent me lots of info about the upcoming new Sony products. I am trying to double-check the rumors with other sources. But meanwhile I am going to post an info I heard for the very first time with a low SR2 rating (unconfirmed rumors from unknown source). So take that with a grain of salt!

The source confirmed the A77 is coming in July and said it will be available with the new 16-50/2.8 kit lens too. He also said the “it has directional side-hinged LCD” and that it is a “new design not yet seen before“. The [shoplink 3617]Sony A55[/shoplink] LCD hangs at the bottom-center of the camera.

Hope my sources can confirm or deny that soon. Thanks to the anonymous sender and all the sources that can help me on that!

Reminder (SR = Sonyrumor):
SR1=probably fake rumor
SR2=rumor from unknown sources
SR3=50% chance it is correct
SR4=rumor from known sources
SR5=almost certainly correct!
