It'll be a bit more challenging than your phone to mount on a stick, but Fujifilm's new X-A2 could be the ultimate selfie camera nonetheless. Fujifilm has updated the entry-level model to its well-regarded X-series of interchangeable lens mirrorless cameras with a 175-degree flip screen, letting you see what you're shooting when the lens is trained on your face.

The X-A2's improved autofocus performance comes in handy here, too; when the screen is flipped up, the camera automatically turns on face and eye detection to ensure the clearest portraits possible. And a tweaked version of Fujifilm's optically stabilized 16-50mm (24-76mm-equivalent) f/3.5-5.6 lens — bundled with the X-A2 for $549.95 — just might offer a wide enough perspective to make you want to ditch the selfie stick.

The X-A2 will be available in brown, white, and black versions next month; a $699.95 double-zoom kit includes a 50-230mm (76-350mm-equivalent) f/4.5-6.7 lens as well. It might be a tough sell for those who value the speed and convenience of phone cameras, but it'll certainly take better pictures.
