Canon PowerShot N is a small device particular picture. Canon has made a model of its PowerShot range and it has planed sides, leaving nothing but the lens and the screen. In a thickness of 3 cm between the 8x zoom (equivalent to 28-224 mm, f/3.0-5.9) and swivel touchscreen of 2.8 inches, are CMOS “backlit” sensor (BSI – backside illuminated ) 12 million pixels, a space for the removable battery and a microSD memory card. THE Canon PowerShot N has a Wi-Fi chip to enable, among others, the connection with iOS and Android devices.
Collapse in this case size force rethink some things in design and ergonomics. Changes that require at least some time to adjust before you use another device. It functions as an ultra compact photo complementary functions of a smartphone.
Image Quality
advantages to using a real camera should normally be the quality of the shots. The PowerShot N perfectly fulfills this role, especially in low light conditions. The colors are respected and not deteriorate or not to wash out as soon as sensitivity rises above 400 ISO. You can even go up to 1600 ISO and get usable results. The photos are bright and pleasant, without excessive noise, which destroys all the details. Avoid, however to rise above a sensitivity of 1600 ISO.
definition 12 million pixels is far below the peaks already achieved by some compact today. It is not huge when you want to make enlargements, cropping or large prints. But this is sufficient for most situations.
The video quality is excellent. The Canon PowerShot N turns responsive and fast as in tracking autofocus that when using the zoom. However, you will hear the motor of the lens in your clip and perhaps clicks from AF, particularly in quiet environments. This is inevitable in view of the similarity between the target and the mono microphone located just above.
Performance
PowerShot N turns faster. It can easily take snapshots of children or animals on the move. You will certainly come, but not without a little practice and a good sense of timing.
between pressing the power button and the first photo, it takes 1.9 seconds. The average latency between snapshots is about the same, 1.8 seconds without the flash. The lag time between pressing the shutter and taking the picture is situated around the 0.3 seconds in bright conditions. It’s pretty good, in line with competitors of the PowerShot N.
This unit has a function for shooting burst available in Program Auto mode, can shoot continuously at 2.3 frames per second with focus and set exposure on the first shot. This works until the memory card is full, which is a good thing because other compact generally suffer from a break point asking that all shots are recorded before continuing.
Design and specifications
Apart from its size, which is most notable in the design of the PowerShot N terms of how to operate the zoom and the shutter button. If you look at the device, you can not distinguish them and think that everything is done via the touch screen (and you can in fact use it to zoom in and fire). But they are there in the form of two rings around the goal inside the zoom and outside, a little thicker than the trigger
.
These are not the easiest to use controls, simply because these two rings are very close together and barely different from each other. Couple that with the small size of the case and it almost becomes too uncomfortable for some users manage to stabilize the camera. With swivel touch screen 90 and the ring control system, it is possible to take pictures from different angles more easily than a traditional compact.
The screen can also be used as a support for the device, which helps to position it on a table and guide for self-portraits (although it would have been better if the screen rotates 180 ° so we can see what is in this situation). A gyro sensor replace the image in the right direction if you hold the camera upside down.
Most functions are accessible via the touch screen, but it is still very small buttons on the sides of the unit. The start button is at the top of the right edge. It is easy to accidentally. On the left are a small switch to select between the main modes of shooting and the new fashion Creative Shot, a Connect button for mobile devices and a Play button to view the photos.
With such a limited space, Canon used a small lithium-ion battery for power and a microSD card slot for storage. The biggest concern is the Wi-Fi, still very energy intensive.
The camera charges via USB (a rarity in Canon) to power via a mini-USB plug. Not only that avoids having to constantly remove the battery to charge, but it is also possible to use the USB to download pictures and videos from memory. This also eliminates the need to remove the microSD card.
using CameraWindow software and website Canon Image Gateway, you can configure the camera to directly transfer your photos and videos on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube or send them by e-mail. But for this Canon requires you to create an account on Image Gateway with username and password. Therefore, charge your data to the service instead of doing it directly from the camera. If this is a problem, you can use the CameraWindow application to iOS or Android, and send your photos and videos directly to a mobile device for viewing, editing and sharing.
pairing process with a smartphone or tablet is simple. The Canon PowerShot N registers a profile thereof or therein. Press the Connect button and run the application: they are connected. The application allows you to view pictures from the camera and transfer them to your mobile device. You can also add location data to photos of the device.
Canon PowerShot N has not a real flash. It is equipped with small lamp that can be as powerful. It can illuminate a subject with a few tens of centimeters.
Most users do not leave the Auto mode, which shows reliable. But there is also a Program Auto mode if you want to change settings such as sensitivity, white balance or use the burst mode. But that’s about all that is available in manual controls.
PowerShot N opens a new Creative Shot mode that goes beyond the simple addition of effects and filters. Take a picture and the camera will automatically create five different versions of the picture-in-addition to the original, using different colors and hues, different framings and style. This is a pretty clever feature that works well, especially if you want to share your photo without having to wade through the endless list of filters for a phone.
Canon PowerShot N is an excellent companion for your camera phone. It has an optical zoom with excellent image stabilization, displays a very good photo and video quality (better than the picture of a “classic” smartphone sensor) and integrated Wi-Fi so you can share your pictures almost as easily as if you take with your smartphone. And all for a minimal footprint
