Best digital camera for selfies?

I'm looking at different cameras. I barely know a thing about photography. But on Instagram I keep seeing all these Instagram famous girls' selfies. For instance @saschapr. And they're flawless. Yes, I realized that they are touched up with photoshop. But whatever they use for their selfies obviously isn't an iphone camera. And the digital camera I do have doesn't take pics like that. It looks like they're taking selfies with professional cameras.
can someone please tell me what kinds of cameras they're using? They look gorgeous and I'd love to have a camera like that.
lol I realize it's kinda vain to be looking for a camera just for the selfies. So if that's all you gotta say to me, I don't really care to hear it.
anyone else though that wants to help me find the camera I'm looking for, I appreciate the help and thank you in advance!

8GB iPhone 4s storage issues?

I bought an 8GB thinking that it would be fine. I quickly ran out of memory within the first month. I just decided to fully reset it to original. When it turned back on I looked at the settings to see how much space was actually available.
Why does an 8 GB iPhone with nothing but the original apps say that there's only 5.4 GB capacity and only 4.8 GB available?

Added (1). I just checked the available again to show my mom and it said 3.8 GB. I haven't done anything to it. Has this happened to anyone else?
