Mobile phones and compact digital cameras have revolutionized the way we take photographs, offering us the option of always having the possibility of record videos or capture snapshots. Although yes, until now we had to be the ones who decided the exact moment in which we took these captures.
This is what you want to change Canon with the launch of its PowerShot PX camera, a device that promises to be something similar to having a photographer at home always pointing the lens at us and ready to take a photo or record a video at the most opportune family moments. Or at least that is what the theory of this curious invention says. Let’s see what its specifications and functionalities are

With the appearance of a new generation portable security camera, the PowerShot PX boasts a discreet design and a “smart” software to recognize for itself what is happening in its environment identifying users and choosing the best moment to take the photo or start recording a video without needing our intervention.
To do this, use a 11.7 megapixel (MP) optical with a 1 / 2.3-inch CMOS sensor that can take 11MP JPEG photos and Full HD (1080p) videos in MP4 format and up to 60 fps. It has 3X optical zoom, 4X digital zoom and can rotate up to 340 degrees on the horizontal axis and 110 degrees on the vertical to find the best framing.
Photos and videos are taken automatically once we turn on the camera, or else we can also do it manually at a specific time adjusting the different parameters of the image from the mobile phone as if it were a remote camera. In addition, we have the option of asking you to take a photo of us via voice commands, simply saying “Hello Pixie, take a picture.”
The device has WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity so that you can wirelessly send the files stored on your 16GB microSD card even a mobile or PC, and in the latter case and if we have a computer with Windows 10 or higher, we can turn the camera into a wireless webcam via Mini PTZ Cam App.
Another interesting point about this model is that it comes with rechargeable lithium battery, which allows us to use it in almost any part of the house without depending on a cable and offers us an autonomy of 2, 3.5 or 5 hours depending on how often you take the photos (it has three different modes: high, medium and low).
