For the narcissist on your list

ChristmasIsNextSaturday Filter - Looking for a small camera with a swivel screen.

I'm looking for a very small digital camera where the LCD screen swivels so that you can easily take self portraits. I can only find some cheapie Vivitars and some old Nikons that seem to be a few years out of date (5MP). Price isn't as much of an issue as small size, picture quality and the ability to do self portraits.

Is this feature not offered on newer cameras?

PS. It's not for a narcissist. The swivel screen is a really helpful feature.

Best answer: The Canon G12 has this feature (along with other models in the G series). I'm not sure how small is "very small" to you, though, so it may not fit your size requirements.

Best answer: The Samsung TL205 has an LCD screen on the front and was recommended in Engadget's holiday 2010 camera guide.

Response by poster: Thanks you two!

I looked at both cameras and went with the Samsung 210. The Canon had some really awesome features, but the Samsung's tiny size made it a winner.
