Ah you are right about the pivotal display, I probaply mixed it up with the D5400.
@Manual focus: Most cheaper digital lenses are not built for a good MF usage. The focus ring of the default 18-45 nikon kit lense is very soft and no real fun to work with. Especially capturing faster scenes requires alot of training with MF. Thats why I still use analog hardware. You can get good lenses for a good price, yet it's still much more cash intensive than digital photography (for example 700€ for a decent 35mm scanner).
Can you give me an example or additional information about this? :o

Filmmakers usually use a little focus grip attachment that clamps onto the lense that makes it all around easier to manually focus. I don't know, I guess I'll just have to experiment. I've never been a fan of autofocus.
About the mirroring display, I started looking at mini displays online and figured that literally all you have to do is buy one of those little monitors people use in their car and make/buy an adapter that splits the HDMI into RCA and auxiliary. All you have to do is figure out a way to attach it. It also allows you to use live headphones on a camera without a jack. I've never tried it but I assume it works.
