What is the name of the cameras that...?

Question

kind of look like mini camcorders?

the ones where the image thing flips

away from the camera, and you can

flip it whichever way you want. like, you

can point the camera at you and turn

the picture thing towards you so that you

can see what the pic would look like?

any ideas? it kinda looks like this,

but i'm not sure if this is the right one.

it HAS to take pics. don't care about

Sanyo's Xacti (self-designated) "Digital Media Cameras" also have the retro pistol grip design. They're basically camcorders but they can also take decent stills.
