The Canon RC-250 was a still video camera released by Canon in 1986. Although this could also be achieved with admittedly more effort by propping up your phone and using a self-timer or Bluetooth remote. If it does for you, especially as Canon marketing suggests, you might have a young family and frequently require both hands, then this camera does offer a more convenient way to get hands-free images. I am unsure if I need my own personal paparazzi machine, there is something about subjecting myself to candid images that doesn't appeal. ![]() However, instead of just recording the goings on in your home, the PowerShot Pick instead is tasked with being "your own personal photographer", tracking you and taking snapshots of you that it believes you might want to remember. The camera, in essence, resembles an indoor security camera, as many of us have from Nest or Ring, and if it was for security purposes, it wouldn't be seen near this list. The concept of how you are expected to use the Canon PowerShot Pick is stranger than the device itself. But as a quality photography tool, the PowerShot Zoom just doesn't quite cut it.Īnd for any keen birders who still like the sound of the PowerShot Zoom, you can adapt some of the best monoculars to work with your smartphone camera, although not quite as convenient as what Canon hoped to offer here. ![]() You can argue that the PowerShot Zoom gives you a perspective that you could otherwise never achieve without carrying around big bulky equipment, and that is true – for the hobbyist. While the idea is sound – a small device that puts a mighty 800mm of focal length in the palm of your hand – the image and video quality were significantly compromised by its uniquely tiny form factor. Unfortunately, the Canon PowerShot Zoom failed to live up to these lofty expectations, with a double whammy of not really being a great camera, or monocular. This monocular camera hybrid device certainly had the potential to be one of the best cameras for wildlife or birdwatching.
