Single-hand held camera usable in narrow space

A single hand held camera with a monitor for use in narrow space includes a main body, a photographing member, a head member, and a handle. The main body has a monitor for image of a subject to be displayed thereon. The head member extends from the main body to be opposite the head member for allowing light from a subject to traveling through to be received by the photographing member. The handle is equipped with a button, which is to be pressed with the user's index finger for recording image of the subject in a memory. The camera can be used in dental practice, in which occasion the practitioner can always observe inside of the patient's oral cavity through the monitor, not having to move his head away from the monitor while adjusting orientation of the head member.
