The PowerShot Zoom, is a new “compact telephoto monocular,”. It’s designed to take a 12-megapixel photos and 1080p video, and work as a viewer for “hiking, birdwatching and nature gazing,”.
To keep the form factor so small, the PowerShot Zoom has a relatively tiny 1/3-inch sensor along with an f/5.6-6.3 lens that supports 100mm or 400mm focal lengths, along with a digital zoom to 800mm (full-frame equivalent.) You can capture either 12-megapixel photos or 1080p video (with a modest 100-3200 ISO range) to a microSD card, and it has built-in optical stabilization along with face-tracking autofocus capability. The battery can last for about 150 shots.
