Sony RX10 IV for selfies?
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX10 IV 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 Sony RX10 IV measures 3.0 inches and offers a resolution of 1,440,000 dots. The panel is touch sensitive.

One convenient feature of the RX10 IV 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.
