The camera has a moving system that allows it to turn up to 340 degrees horizontally and 110 degrees vertically. The device has a 11.7MP lens and it can shoot videos in 1920 x 1080 pixels.
The design of the camera allows it to be used in a quite simple way. You just need to place it on a table or some kind of a support for it to be able to do its job. Then, according to Canon, the Powershot PX will know the exact moment it should take photos, taking into account the location of the objects it will photograph.
This is probably the most interesting feature of the device, because Powershot PX is able to scan the environment and detect faces or expressions without any specific instructions, which could come in handy especially when it comes to group photos.
Powershot PX can send the photos that it took directly to the phone through an application for mobile devices once connected via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. It can also classify them according to their type and even make recommendations regarding which photos to keep and which ones to delete.
It is also possible to utilize Powershot PX as a webcam through the application of Canon and attaching it to a computer with a USB-C port.
The camera will be available to purchase on November 2021 with its 500€ price tag, for now only for Europe.
