I know camera phones are all the rage but I fancy a reasonable price compact camera with flip screen to take decent pics when on my own with a tripod, can anyone make a recommendation? Thank you

I've got a Sony a5000 or 5100 seems pretty decent

Canon a630 or a640 or a650.

Very cheap second hand.

My Nikon d5600 dosnt allow me to use the flip screen on the timer setting 🙁 during self takes
Maybe I'm doing something wrong
Maybe look into this , I would have saved my money

All excellent. I have a 630, brilliant.
Had a 650 but sold for a profit.
the 620 is also very good but only a 2" screen, but still good enough for selfies.
Great battery life, great lens and so easy to use.

I have a Canon Powershot A640 here. I haven't used it for 8+ years. It's just been sat in the box. I'd need to check if it works (which I'd imagine it does).

I'm only a bit up the road. Would take £30 for it.

I'm sure that model has an inbuilt one mate.

Yes it does but dosnt allow the flip screen to work during
Interval shot set up
I bought it thinking it would, lve looked through the settings
and still cannot get it to work
Apparently I can use it to line up the shot
Then activate the timer , then after each shot a preview will appear, which helps
but isn't perfect

Ah sorry my misunderstanding.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
