Canon is one of the biggest multinational companies specializing in image and optical products. They announced a new outdoor camera a few months ago and are now going to launch this new camera. The Canon Ivy Rec is their newest addition to the family that is a “go anywhere” camera. It is small, shockproof, waterproof up to 1m for 30 mins, and wearable – ideal for outdoor use. This tiny camera has a small clip that allows you to attach it to basically anything. This clip also acts as a viewfinder to frame your shots since it does not have a screen to view what you will be photographing and filming.
The camera features a 13.0 Megapixel CMO sensor, HD video shooting at 1080p, wireless and Bluetooth capabilities, and can pair with an optional Mini Cam app. You can simply turn the dial to select if you want to take a picture or capture a video by clicking to take a picture or holding the button down to capture a video. The Mini Cam app also allows for live image and video framing, and the app can also be used to upload your images on to your smart phone. Photos and videos are stored on a microSD card/micro USB port which also enables transferring of your images to your device without the app.
This product is currently being crowd funded on Indiegogo and they are offering some early bird discounts. The product comes in three vibrant colors and will retail for $170 once on the market.
