Canon XC10 for selfies?
The Canon XC10 has a flexibly attached rear LCD. However, the screen can not be turned to be front-facing, and, thus, cannot be used to monitor the framing when taking selfies or during v-logging. That said, the flexibility of the LCD's attachment will be very welcome for odd-angle shots.
In terms of size and resolution, the rear LCD of the Canon XC10 measures 3.0 inches and offers a resolution of 1,030,000 dots. The panel is touch sensitive.
