Will Canon's "Pocket Telescope Camera" be a close friend of smartphones?
PowerShot ZOOM, monocular with digital camera !!!
Canon "PowerShot ZOOM", also known as "pocket-sized telescope-type camera," released on December 10, 2020. When it appeared in crowdfunding in September 2020, I thought, "Ah !!! This will make up for the weaknesses of the camera function of the smartphone !!!", so I made a pre-order (after the general sale was decided).
Canon "PowerShot ZOOM" is a telescope with a digital camera function. It is a monocular type that you can see with one eye. It is palm-sized and supports 100mm and 400mm telephoto to super-telephoto shooting with a 35mm equivalent focal length. Also equipped with an optical image stabilization mechanism. It can also be used in conjunction with a smartphone.Canon online shop tax-included price is 35,750 yen
The focal length of the PowerShot ZOOM (35mm equivalent / same below) is a two-stage switch between 100mm and 400mm. It also has a 2x digital zoom, so you can shoot with a focal length equivalent to 800mm. When these focal lengths are used as the magnification of the telescope, it becomes 1.2 times / 4.8 times / 9.6 times.
On the other hand, the focal length of the optical zoom of smartphones is around 150mm even for those with extremely high telephoto performance. The PowerShot ZOOM is a telephoto camera that covers "beyond the limit of smartphone optical zoom". Moreover, it is equipped with an optical image stabilization mechanism. If you use the digital zoom, you can shoot 800mm equivalent ♪
Today's smartphones support ultra-wide-angle shooting, but they are still weak for telephoto shooting. If you use the PowerShot ZOOM together with the built-in camera of your smartphone, you can handle a very wide range of subjects.
After that, I would like to send you a review of PowerShot ZOOM !!! Of course, the feeling of use when used with a smartphone is also awesome !!!
