Intriguing concept, Responsive, fluid touchscreen that tilts, Compact
Can be awkward to use, Mediocre Wi-Fi experience, Needs more youth-oriented features
With smartphones taking over on the low-end point-and-shoot segment, we have always said that camera makers need to come up with something attractive or exit the business. The PowerShot N is a good attempt toward the right road, but in the wrong directi...
Abstract: The Canon PowerShot N is definitely one of the most unique cameras released this year at CES 2013. While it offers common features found in modern point and shoot cameras (like a 12.MP sensor and an 8x optical zoom lens with image stabilization), the f...
Abstract: Canon has brought fresh thinking to compact camera design with the introduction of the Canon Powershot N. The unusual, almost square shape of the camera, plus the absence of any conventional shutter or zoom buttons is only part of the story - it also o...
8X optical zoom lens; excellent image quality over a broad ISO range; tilting screen for creative compositions; solid movie mode with a dose of creativity; built-in WiFi with mobile companion app available for free; Digic 5 process for snappy performance

Is the Canon PowerShot N worth carrying alongside your mobile device? At US$299, the PowerShot N is an investment, both in dollars and in additional pocket space. Many casual snapshooters will probably be happy sticking with their smartphone for their dai...
Abstract: DateJune 13, 2013 (1) Read later This 12-megapixel camera with a stabilised 28-224mm lens is clearly intended to go head to head with smartphone cameras. Its square face area is slightly less than a credit card but it is quite thick at 29mm a...
Image quality is better than a phone camera, owing to the larger sensor and true optical zoom lens. At ISO200, noise reduction effects (smudging) are noticeable but resolution and sharpness are reasonable. Movie quality is good.
Handling is awkward. The concentric rings for zoom and shutter release forced us to keep looking for the right ring to press to fire the shutter. Using the touchandfire spot on screen was generally a better way to go
The N surpasses phone cameras on all counts except one - the always-with-you feature. The wi-fi CameraWindow app provides image viewing and transfer from camera to phone, but doesn't give remote control. This is a beautifully made, cute camera that takes ...

The Powershot N surpasses phone cameras on all counts except one – the “always with you” feature. In the end that might be what counts. The WiFi CameraWindow app provides image viewing and transfer from camera to phone, but doesn't give remote control. Th...
The Canon PowerShot N is a fresh take on a simple point-and-shoot, cramming a lot of camera into the smallest space possible without being completely unusable. It has a handy tilting touch screen, built-in Wi-Fi for on-the-go sharing, and a couple of inno
The camera's controls and size might make it difficult to use for some. It doesn't do much beyond automatic snapshots. Battery life is relatively short, and the flash is weak
If you can get past the supercompact design and reimagined controls, the Canon PowerShot N is a fine point-and-shoot companion for your smartphone....
