"The cult of the selfie continues, and while few could put this man to shame, Canon hopes to help you up your selfie game with the Legria Mini. Yes, this is a camera designed entirely to help you take pictures of yourself. The Legria looks a little bit like a projector, so you can angle its lens towards your face and still see the camera&amp;#039;s screen while filming. It sounds like a gimmick, but for quick YouTube videos, posting things to Facebook or for journalists, it&amp;#039;s actually very handy. In the hand, the Legria Mini is nicely compact. It&amp;#039;s about the same size and thickness as a normal wallet, and has a good sturdy feel to it.  On the top of the camera is a screen that you can tilt and angle in any direction. This way you can shoot video of yourself or others. There is a flip out stand on the bottom to support the Legria so you don&amp;#039;t need to balance it on anything to keep it pointing up rather than laying flat on a table. The lens, a 16.8mm unit with a 12.8-megapixel CMOS sensor. This is paired up with Canon&amp;#039;s Digic DV 4 processor. The result? Images have a serious GoPro feel to them. They are impressively sharp, and pack a good amount of dynamic range. Above all else though, they are wide. You can squeeze everyone into the frame and as such, can fit multiple people into one single selfie.  Video is of course Full HD and is of a pretty decent quality. Colours are nice and accurate and don&amp;#039;t sport that usual overly saturated approach you might see on something like a smartphone. The camera&amp;#039;s own uploading functionality could do with streamlining slightly. It&amp;#039;s done by pairing the device to a smartphone and then using something called the em&amp;gt;&amp;#039;Movie Uploader&amp;#039; app. Bottom line is, it doesn&amp;#039;t work yet, with iOS devices at least. So this needs fixing.  All in all though, great picture quality and a decent build makes this \u00A3269 camera a nice alternative to a normal compact. One, thing though - Canon really needs to sort the 2.7-inch screen. It doesn&amp;#039;t do the pictures justice when you see them on a big screen. Oh, and fix that app. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
