General
- Brand: Canon
- Model Number: 4828C013
- Product Name: PowerShot Pick Active Tracking PTZ 11.7MP Digital Camera
- Color: Black
- Digital Camera Type: Point and Shoot Cameras
Imaging
- Image Sensor Type: CMOS (CCD and CMOS are the two main technologies used in image sensors. CCD, the older of the two types, turns analog light signals into digital pixels. This conversion happens without distortion, resulting in high-quality images. Newer CMOS sensors use transistors at each pixel to move electrical charges. CMOS sensors are typically less expensive, but also require more light to create distortion-free images.)
- Image Sensor Size: Other
- Total Pixels: 12 megapixels (Generally, the more pixels, the higher the image resolution and the finer the detail that can be seen.)
- Zoom Capability: true (This function allows for magnification of the subject.)
- Digital Zoom: 4x (A digital zoom is accomplished electronically, with no adjustment of the camera's optics, and no optical resolution gained in the process. The existing data is not enhanced or added to, merely displayed at a lower resolution, thereby giving an illusion of an enlarged image.)
- Optical Zoom: 3x (The optical zoom uses a combination of lenses that magnify the image prior to it being registered at high resolution by the imaging sensor.)
- Low Light/High Sensitivity: false (High sensitivity digital imaging devices are designed to work in low light conditions to produce a high dynamic range image.)
- Image File Format(s): JPEG, HEIF, RAW, MP4 (Standardized software format(s) of storing digital images. The type of format chosen for capturing and compressing the image can determine quality, level of detail, and storage space required.)
Focus
- Autofocus: false (Allows the camera to automatically focus through the lens, rather than by adjusting the lens manually.)
- Eye Autofocus (Eye AF): false (Automatically seeks out and focuses on the subject's eye and holds it as the camera and subject move and as the photographer shoots at high frame rates.)
- Number of Autofocus Points (Up To): 0
Exposure Control
- Shutter Speeds: N/A (The length of time the shutter remains open when the shutter release is activated, expressed in fractions of seconds. The longer the shutter is open, the more light that is able to be captured by the camera sensor.)
- Panorama Mode: true
- Effective Pixels: 11.7 megapixels (The actual number of pixels which make up the viewable image.)
Flash
- Integrated Flash: false
Display
- Touch Screen: false (Touch-screen devices make navigating more intuitive. Using a touch-screen display, you can do things such as tap to select, hold and drag to move items, swipe to scroll, and pinch to zoom.)
Video
- Standardized Video Resolution: Full HD (1080p) (An approximated measurement of the product’s video resolution. This may not be the exact resolution of the product, which may be slightly more or less when using a pixel-by-pixel measurement.)
- Video Resolution(s) and Frame Rate(s): Full HD (1080p) video recording (Refers to the number of pixels, both horizontally and vertically, and the frame rate used to capture the video. The higher the resolution the finer the video detail that can be seen. The faster the frame rate the smoother the playback for higher motion activities like sports.)

Capturing moments is important. But, it’s also not always easy. Being the family photographer often requires you to pause the moment, asking everybody to pose, making sure everyone is in the frame, and even if all that goes well the person behind the camera doesn’t get to be in the picture. Canon PICK changes all this and more. By ensuring that you record experiences as they happen organically, genuinely. No posing, no pausing—just candid memories that can last forever.PICK's unique algorithm has been years in the making, with a dedicated app to get the image just right. It will automatically* search for faces and smiles while adjusting the composition of the frame with its Pan, Tilt, Zoom (PTZ) mechanism. The camera captures and records moments while you’re enjoying them and you don’t have to do anything, no timers, no clicking, no posing—just living in the moment.

CMOS Sensor: 11.7 effective MP CMOS Sensor
Zoom: 3X optical zoom and 4x digital zoom
Records videos: Full HD (1920X1080) video recording
Comes with a memory card: The PowerShot Pick is compatible with MicroSD, MicroSDHC, MicroSDXC memory cards. UHS-I supported.
Introducing your own personal photographer: When you want to capture life’s precious moments, but also want to be in them, the PowerShot PICK is ideal - capturing natural expressions following the action and automatically framing people intelligently and creatively.
Everyone in the shot - including you: Enjoy your time with your family and create a lot of images using the PowerShot PICK, all automatically, leaving you to enjoy the moment.
Simple, portable design: The PowerShot PICK can go almost anywhere, thanks to USB-C charging and built-in Wi-Fi. Want more control? Just ask – it’s voice activated too.
Smiles. Laughs. All your loved ones’ expressions: The best photos aren’t always the posed smiles, although they’re always popular. The PowerShot PICK captures a huge range of looks and precious reactions that you might not capture.
Use it as a Wireless Webcam: The PowerShot PICK also works great as a web cam, using the Wireless Webcam Utility for Mini PTZ Cam, bringing extra ease and usefulness.
Smile Tracking and Automatic Filtering: Using a unique algorithm that was developed over the years by Canon, the PowerShot PICK will automatically search for faces of people, adjusting the composition of the shot based on facial information with its pan, tilt and zoom (PTZ) mechanism.
Portable, Compact, and Lightweight: Weighing only approximately 6 oz (including the microSD card) and measuring under 3.3” x 2.5” in size, the PowerShot PICK can be carried along for use almost anywhere.
Tracking and Image Stabilization (IS): Using Canon’s Nano USM technology, the PowerShot PICK is capable of silent and high-speed tracking, automatically tracking the subject so that the face stays within the angle of view even when the subject moves.
Remote Shooting & Playback: Manual capture of photos and videos is possible by using your connected smartphone or tablet as a remote to control the movement and angle of view of the PowerShot PICK.

Q: Is it safe to assume that in true Canon fashion, they neglected to add an audio in port? How about an HDMI out? So close... but still keeping it from being a great solution for the reason that I assume they'd want it used for... Streaming with audio!

A: undefined

Q: Where is the Canon Power Shot Pick manufactured ?

A: I thought for sure it was same place most everything else is, ... China , ... BUT was pleasantly surprised to look at the box and it's "Made in Japan".

GREAT POTENTIAL!!!
The Canon PowerShot Pick is a portable, battery powered camera that can take pictures of you and your loved ones all on its own. This tiny camera can pan, tilt, and zoom all on its own, has face tracking, takes photos and videos on voice command, and can also be used as a webcam and when you are all done, simply throw it in your pocket. This pocket-sized camera is an amazing idea with great potential, but it’s just not there, yet!!! I have had the opportunity to test out the Canon Powershot Pick camera in my home for about a week now and everything about this camera is great, but I ran into a few issues with the tracking and it constantly losing connection. The Powershot Pick is meant to follow the faces and take photos and record video and it seems to do its job about 90 percent of the time and the rest of it just stares at the wall in our family room. You can manually control the camera as well using the application so you can use the app to turn it back in the direction you want to but it defeats the purpose. The other issue that I came across was a connection issue. The Powershot had some issues staying connected to my phone. I am not sure what the issue is and did a perform factory reset on the camera but that did not seem to help, and I was using the Google Pixel 7 Pro. Aside from the connection and tracking issue, which I am sure can be easily fixed with an update, the camera actually does a pretty good job of taking pictures and takes some good quality photos. The pictures are crisp and clear and records videos in Full HD (1080p). I have registered my daughters in the application and have set them as a priority in the camera settings, so whenever the camera detects them smiling or looking at the camera it takes a picture. We have a few family gatherings coming up and I actually cant wait to try out this little pocket-sized photographer at those events and let this little camera do all the work. Overall, this is not a bad product at all and has some real potential and I am hoping that a future update may resolve the tracking and connection issues that I encountered.

Great versatile camera
In the past, I used to be an amateur photographer and devoted a lot of time to artistic, events, and personal photography. Knowledgeable with single-lens reflex (SLR) cameras, my favorite devices were Canon. They make high-quality devices that always give you the best images. After 15 years, those devices still work, and I can still use them to produce high-quality images. In any event, one drawback of being a photographer is that you are not fully involved in the event because your eyes are focused on the viewfinder or just looking to capture joyful moments. Now, this cute and robotic-like looking Canon PowerShot Pick does help anyone who likes to take pictures and at the same time be involved with what is happening. It is fully automated; it moves 360° from side to side and up/down to get different views and orientations. It has artificial intelligence (AI) to catch the incredible and lively moments happening. It does a great job looking at and detecting faces, movements, and actions, and it records various images to capture them. All of the features make this camera versatile. If you are going out with friends or family, you can set it in the center, like the coffee table, and it will do its own thing to capture joyful moments. If you are an online influencer (content creator), for videos and photos, the device tracks your facial reactions, follows your around, and is voice-activated. Set-up is quick and easy using the Canon MiniPTZ app. The device connects to a smartphone, tablet, or computer using BlueTooth or Wi-Fi. The app lets you live view, download images or video from the Pick to your mobile phone/table, move the camera around and adjust settings. The image and audio quality are good. There is no light or flash on the camera. It is battery-operated and portable but is not water-resistant. The base of the device has a tripod socket which allows it to mount on a tripod and top a DSLR camera shot shoe slot using a tripod screw to hot shoe adapter. It will also work with a point-and-shoot camera with a hot shoe slot. While photo-taking with your primary camera, the Pick will simultaneously give you images or videos of a different perspective of an event. This option is excellent for weddings, quinceaneras, or other important events. As a dedicated photographer, having this device on top of your primary camera will give your more options for your clients. It uses USB-C charging port, which is excellent for the environment and handles fast charging, which is a big time saver. It is like having your how little personal photographer. If you are always a photo taker, the best part of the PowerShot Pick is you can enjoy events and not be behind the camera. This device will capture a lot of the things that one might miss. Overall, this camera is excellent for photographers, content creators, or anyone who doesn’t like to miss lively moments.

Nice photo quality, but the AI is lacking
I'm not a huge fan of this camera. I'll give Canon credit for making a cute, compact camera with excellent image quality. Unfortunately, the "A.I." functions are sorely lacking. The initial setup was grueling and arduous. I charged the camera overnight, downloaded the app, and I attempted to set the camera up the following evening. It took my phone 15 attempts to connect to this camera. I suspect that it may have been because my phone only had 24% charge when I went to set this up. On the 15th attempt (after having tried a variety of different things - i.e. plugging the camera in, connecting to the camera through settings instead of the app, . . . etc.), I plugged my phone in to recharge, and it finally connected when my phone's battery was up around 70%. Once connected, the app proved to be fairly intuitive. I was able to move the camera around, take photos, and record video very easily. Unfortunately, things went downhill when I attempted to let the camera take control. The camera did a great job of focusing on faces that were directly in front of it when it first booted up. It would swivel around and make slight adjustments to keep the person's face centered as they moved around while seated. Unfortunately, the camera completely fell apart the moment someone stood up or moved in a more dynamic fashion. Upon standing (at a completely normal rate - it's not like people were leaping from their seats), the camera would lose the person's face, get confused, and fixate on the nearest light-source instead. The camera would only sometimes find the person if they moved back into the frame and remained stationary. More often than not, the camera would just remain fixated on the light-source. I was looking forward to using this at Christmas to try and catch people's expressions as they open gifts. Unfortunately, this isn't going to work unless we're all sitting at a table, facing the camera, without moving more than a foot or two. I'm hoping that this is something that they can maybe fix with a software update the down the road. But as it stands right now, I can't recommend this camera.
