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.

The editors didn't like
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
US$299 price tag makes it an investment
Not an impulse buy
Low battery warning doesn't provide much lead time
Small size can make it difficult to hold securely
LCD controls most functions
Very few buttons
Wi-Fi will disconnect quickly when pictures
Slightly awkward to hold
Little manual control
Restricted LCD movement
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

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...

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 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....
Records in 1080p FHD, Plenty of features to play with, Unique design
Decent, but not great image quality, Better options available,
Regardless of the Canon PowerShot N's shortcomings, it's still a good camera in its own right. For one thing, it records in 1080p Full HD. As a vlogger, that's invaluable. It leans more into capturing images than video, but does offer a few modes and filt...
Quality: about average.Why you'd buy it: glam cam!Why you wouldn't: fiddly for experienced photographers.The N is available in white or black.I found some aspects of the N quite irritating: for one, the lens and shutter rings are easily perplexing … I oft...
By Kyle Schurman Developing a new camera design has its share of risks. Sometimes camera makers take a swing and a miss, such as with the four-lens Minox PX3D prototype from a few years ago. But sometimes camera makers hit a home run, such as the origi...
Build and Design The Canon N is small...very small. The camera measures 3.09 x 2.37 x 1.15 inches and weighs 6.88 ounces. It is very portable and easy to take with you--fitting nicely into a pocket or wristlet. The camera has very little space for extras ...
