hey there I'm Josh Goldman we've seen it and this is a look at canons attempt to stir things up in its point-and-shoot lineup the power shot end it's essentially one of canons ultra compact elf cameras but it's been pared down to just a lens and a screen the lens is an 8 X zoom that's controlled with this ring right here the camera shutter release is just right in front of that just pressed down or up on it and it'll snap a shot the 2.8 inch touchscreen on back can also be used to take shots and you can tip the screen up 90 degrees so you can shoot below your eye line or overhead since it has a sensor in it that will write the picture when you turn the camera upside down of course with a camera this small there's not a lot of room to hold on to it and the few buttons that it does have are miniscule it also uses a tiny battery pack that doesn't last all that long and you'll need a micro SD card for storage to go along with the new design Canon added a new mobile device connect button which helps simplify connecting to iOS or Android devices with the cameras built-in Wi-Fi then there's the new creative shot mode which takes a shot analyzes the subject and then creates five additional versions of the photo with crops colours and filters photo quality and performance are very good though it's a little on the slow side for pictures of kids and pets basically if you're looking for something small to supplement your smartphone photography the Parishad and is a fine choice as long as you don't mind the size and controls I'm Josh Goldman and that's the canon powershot
