Canon's PowerShot A95 compact digital camera is designed with an LCD screen that flips and tilts 180 degrees for previewing images. The screen can face forward to aid a photographer wanting to put himself in the picture. The camera can operate as a simple point-and-shoot camera or give the user full manual control of the image. The camera can also shoot video.
