Canon has always been right up there with the best of them when it comes to imaging technology, especially digital cameras – be it DSLRs or compact digital cameras that cater for the masses. This time around, in order to keep up with a generation that is addicted to social networks, Canon has introduced the Canon Powershot N Facebook-ready digital camera, allowing you to share your images and video instantly on Facebook at the press of a button. THis is pretty neat, but sometimes, there is the danger of posting up incriminating photos on the go without realizing it, only to kick yourself in the nuts when the chickens come home to roost.

Just how does the Canon Powershot N digital camera upload photos to your Facebook account without having to first transfer the capture images and videos onto a computer beforehand? That is pretty simple, it comes with an integrated Wi-Fi chipset, as well as a dedicated Facebook connect button to get the job done – as long as your Canon PowerShot N remains within vicinity of a working Wi-Fi network, of course.

Other hardware features of the Canon Powershot N include a 2.8-inch capacitive, tilt-touch panel LCD display that gives you the allowance and flexibility to shoot creative images at unique angles. Apart from that, there is a shutter and zoom ring that is located around the lens, letting you shoot easily from the top or bottom of the ring for that picture perfect image. Apart from that, you have a 8x optical zoom and a 28mm wide-angle lens at your disposal that is accompanied by a 12.1-megapixel High-Sensitivity CMOS sensor and DIGIC 5 image processor.

The Canon PowerShot N will also boast of Full HD video recording capability alongside a dedicated movie button, while Hybrid Auto mode lets users create a composite video of brief clips automatically while snapping photos for a new creative overview, now how about that? Do expect to keep a keen eye out for the Canon PowerShot N Facebook ready digital camera later this coming September, where it will arrive in just one color – white, for $299.99 a pop.
