Canon ’s new Vixia Mini is a Wi - Fi enabled camcorder contrive to help you document your mundane life in more detail than average folk ever think possible . No other mass required .
The slight - bodied pocket camera from Canon ’s camcorder squad is different from a rugged GoPro or that older Flip camera you ’ve got tuck away in a draftsman somewhere . The $ 300 Vixia Mini weighs just 5.6 ounces and is slim enough that you could tuck it aside in your scoop until it ’s time for action .
The idea is that you may carry the Vixia Mini around with you wherever you go and then when the moment is right , say at Mount Rushmore or in your kitchen , the television camera will be there for you . Just pop - out the ramp up - in legs and the 2.7 - inch touchscreen and hit disk . The screen tilt 170 degree so you could look at yourself while you ’re doing whatever it is that you thought important enough to record . Built - in Wi - Fi allows you to both moderate the Vixia Mini remotely via a smartphone app , and transfer your 1920 x 1080 mp4 videos ( or 12.8 megapixel stills ) to other Wi - Fi devices .
Clearly , this camera is targeted at all the wannabe Justin Biebers of the world . And there are a lot of them , so we ’re looking forward to take care what trick they put together when the Vixia Mini is available in September .
