Forget expensive cameras or smartphones that take up a lot of space. This pocket-sized camera  fits into one hand like a monocular. It can zoom in from 100 mm to 400 mm, while the camera’s digital zoom offers an extra 2x to 800 mm.

For a small camera like this, its zoom capabilities are good. There is a zoom lens that can toggle between 100mm and 400mm (full-frame equivalent) focal lengths and when combined with  800mm (full-frame equivalent) focal length when combined with the camera’s digital zoom.1 The device features built-in image stabilisation, Canon’s Face AF technology, a USB-C port for charging and a microSDXC card slot.
