Yeah, I've heard of people who thought a piece had broken off inside
the camera...you can hear the sensor click when you rotate it.

Why?  It's an extra mechanical thing that could go wrong, and one which affects
the most critical element in the camera - the accurate positioning of the sensor.
Not to mention the fact that you'd also have to change the viewfinder, making
it a lot harder to put all the additional displays within your field of view.

I got quite a surprise when I used a Canon EOS-10d a few months ago; when I
copied the files onto my computer (using the same software I already had there
for my Canon G1 - full marks, Canon!) it automatically produced a second copy
of all my portrait shots, rotated to the correct orientation.  Apparently the
body has an orientation sensor.

It depends on what "scenic" is for you. There's a little of everything here. 
What are you looking for?
