Canon PowerShot N Digital Camera Hopes to Bring ‘New Dimensions Of Photographic Expression’

Posted on Tuesday, 08 January 2013 by Vito Zgonik

With CES 2013 kicking off today there has been shortage of new digital camera announcements but Canon managed to steal our attention with a uniquely designed PowerShot N 12.1 megapixel digital camera. Canon decided to ditch a standard set of controls on top of the camera becuase… there is no top of the camera! It works whichever way you turn it. The on-screen controls will turn automatically, as for the shutter button and zoom controls they have all been moved the ring surrounding the lens. On top of that the touch-screen can be tilted to offer better viewing angles depending on you shooting position. At first this all sounded a bit gimmicky to us but actually seeing a demo of it in action proved that Canon PowerShot N offers very intuitive set of controls.
