Samsung-MultiView-MV800
This isn't the first swivelly compact camera we've ever seen, but it's perhaps the most cynical.

The company's first rugged camera, it's built for adventure and boasts a case that'll take it 10m underwater, allow it to survive a drop of 1.5m and keep snapping in temperatures as low as -10°C.
