Selfies

Though some cameras have flip-out monitors for taking selfies, compact shooters probably don't. Such is the case with the Powerflex X8 from Rollei, but you can still easily snap a selfie thanks to a teeny second lens above the rear screen.

Triton has taken its innovative stretched-bubble pressure hull in a new direction for its latest luxury submersible design. Project Hercules offers ... well, an extremely private and intimate experience for two, with the pilot tucked away in the back.

After putting a few generations of lifelogging cameras on users faces with Snapchat Spectacles, Snap has now installed its imaging tech in a pocket-sized camera drone called Pixy that can record video or capture photos as it flies around a subject.

Although many people think of selfie sticks as cheap gadgets for narcissists, they actually come in pretty handy for people like vloggers. A new model offers several features for such folks, going beyond simply being a telescoping smartphone pole.

​With more and more people getting into video blogging, it's only natural that we should be seeing an increasing number of cameras designed specifically for vlogging. One of the latest and perhaps best-equipped, the Idolcam will soon be the subject of a Kickstarter campaign.

The fastest way to get over selfie insecurities might be to project those photos onto a giant head for all to see. Accepting your own face and flaws, and how you present yourself to the world, was the impetus for a public art installation called As We Are, by Matthew Mohr Studios.

It's simply not enough to snag photos of impressive views when on holiday these days, we all need to be right there in the shot. Panasonic's Lumix DC-ZS70 (TZ90) travel camera caters to the selfie mad tourist with a flip-up touchscreen display to help capture high resolution selfies with ease.

We all know the trademarks of a bad selfie: Unflattering angles, front-camera distortion, distracting backgrounds. Adobe is testing artificial intelligence tools to automatically correct these common issues and infuse selfies with more pleasing portraiture effects.

The AirSelfie is the latest flying camera to zoom into the drone selfie arena, and may just be the least cumbersome one we've seen, with the ability to slide away into the user's smartphone cover when not in use.

Yuneec is known for a few professional-grade drones like the feature-packed Typhoon series, but now the company is targeting a more casual breed of pilot with the selfie-taking Breeze.
