Nikon Z6 II for selfies?
The Nikon Z6 II 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 Nikon Z6 II measures 3.2 inches and offers a resolution of 2,100,000 dots. The panel is touch sensitive.

One useful feature of the Z6 II is a presence of a top-level LCD. While being, of course, smaller than the rear screen, the control panel conveys some of the essential shooting information and can be convenient for quick and easy settings verification.
