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 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 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

If there's one topic on which I'm just totally ignorant, it's got to be fashion. Supposedly the PowerShot N is a fashion-forward, chic design intended to turn heads. But if that's why you're interested in buying one, we must warn you that the N was typica...
The Canon PowerShot N packs a neat Creative Shot mode, but it doesn't let you select your favorite filters and its design makes it a frustrating camera with which to shoot....
Set against competition like the Nikon Coolpix S01, the Canon PowerShot N is an attractive option, but you need to consider the price, too. At £270, it's not a cheap camera, actually more than twice the price of the Nikon. That naturally impacts our final...
Compact design, highquality finish, An original camera with touchscreen controls and an interesting approach to design and handling, WiFi connectivity for quick and easy sharing, Creative Shot Mode for fun automatic effects
No sweep panorama mode, Battery life, Fancy neckstraps sold separately, Zoom ring can be tricky to use, No HDMI out, No Micro USB port for filetransfer or charging, LED flash is small and lacks power, 24 fps framerate for 1080p HD video / Mono sound
The Canon PowerShot N above all appeals as an unusual and original concept (shutter-release and zoom using lens rings, tilt-touchscreen, Wi-Fi, Creative Shot, etc.), as well as for its design and its super-small size. But these advantages are also restric...

Abstract: But as any gig-goer knows, the trouble with trying to photograph/film a gig on your mobile is that, with your arm periscoped above your head, you can't see what you're doing.It's almost as if you need a camera with a 90-degree-pivoting, crystal-clear 7...
Canon's PowerShot N is ultimately a strange little snapper then, and one that's in turn incredibly niche. As a proof of concept, it's superb – it's a tiny little thing with a unique control system, a camera with strong image quality that seems at odds (in...
Very small, Innovative space-saving design, Built-in wifi, Removable battery and memory
Unconventional design won't suit everyone, Some fall off in focus towards edges, Some colours lack a little pop
Overall, it's a slightly mixed bag. The unconventional body shape performs surprisingly well, and Canon's re-imagining of how a compact camera can and should work has been successful. Indeed, it's been so successful that it might have been more appr...
Abstract: How does Canon, one of the leading camera manufacturers in the world, respond to the surging popularity of smartphone cameras? The answer is the PowerShot N .Highly portable, always connected, versatile and made more fun to use by thousands of apps, smart...
