Nikon W150 for selfies?

The Nikon Coolpix W150 has a rear LCD that is fixed to the body. Thus, the screen cannot be used to monitor the framing when taking selfies or during v-logging. The functions of the LCD are, hence, limited to checking the camera's menu settings and reviewing images.

In terms of size and resolution, the rear LCD of the Nikon W150 measures 2.7 inches and offers a resolution of 230,000 dots. The panel is not touch sensitive.

One convenient feature of the W150 is the presence of an on-board flash. While this built-in flash is not very powerful, it can at times be useful as a fill-in light to brighten deep shadow areas.
