Both low-end SLRs intended for a different market than the 7D.

That doesn't even make sense.

I recently upgraded from one Nikon model to another, one with fixed LCD
and the other with swivel LCD. Having the swivel LCD did not - as you
suggested - "make the camera much bigger", nor was the camera
significantly more expensive.

It was from the D60 to the D5000, Ray. Although the brochure lists the
depth as increasing from 64mm to 80mm, the actual depth change with a lens
attached is around 5mm, as shown by the DP Review illustrations:

http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/nikond5000/page4.asp - 69mm
