The new Canon Powershot N includes a lot of the feature of speech that Canon ( and other companies ) been adding to tiny peak - and - shoot over the yr , like Wi - Fi connectivity and touchscreen control . What do it new and fresh — at least aesthetically — is the new design that ’s more square . It ’s noticeably different , but does that make it better ?
Indeed , the Canon Power Elph tv camera have been the quintessential point - and - shoots forever , and that the Powershot N trench the Elph moniker is pregnant . They ’ve get smaller and smaller over the years and pile on the features , but they ’ve still stay fundamentally rectangle of more or less the same dimension . The Powershot N is still technically a orthogonal block , but it has been shortened on the long side and made taller and thick . So , consider that the Powershot N is 3.1 x 2.4 x 1.2 inches whereas the latest and greatestELPH 530 HSmeasures 3.4 x 2.1 .78 inches .
As touchscreens have been impart to point - and - shoot camera , the cameras in play have been fall behind button . receive to the smartphone logical system to the extreme where the and there ’s not a unmarried button on the back of the photographic camera . The touch screen on the back allows you to curb everything , and it pitch out 90 - degrees . It ’s a striking spirit .
Of course because this is the time to come , the camera has Wi - Fi connectivity so that you could portion out your pic online more well . Canon says it has greatly meliorate the arrangement so that using connected feature is n’t a pain , to which we respond that we ’ll consider it when we see it . There ’s also a new ECO fashion that will be added to all Canon Powershot camera break forward . It ’s fundamentally a very strict power save mode that Canon claims will trim 30 - percent of your battery phthisis .
As for the guts , there ’s nothing surprising , a 12.1 - megapixel sensor , an 8x zoom , and the Digic 5 image processor that ’s been around for over a yr . But really , we ’re die to roll in the hay what it ’s like to use a television camera this shape . We ’ll know for certain when it drops in April for $ 300 . [ Canon ]
