Ricoh WG-60 for selfies?
The Ricoh WG-60 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 Ricoh WG-60 measures 2.7 inches and offers a resolution of 230,000 dots. The panel is not touch sensitive.

One convenient feature of the WG-60 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.
