The World Press Photo contest has bowed to pressure from the photographer community. After initially announcing that AI-generated images would be allowed in the "Open Format" category of the competition, it has now walked back on that decision.
Canon has announced that the PowerShot PICK, the active tracking PTZ camera originally launched in Japan, is coming to the United States. The portable camera offers a hands-free solution for capturing candid photos and videos automatically.
Canon's experimental PowerShot PICK that was originally launched as a crowdfunding campaign in Japan appears to be getting an international rollout. Renamed the PowerShot PX, the camera is at the very least coming to Europe.
Canon's official crowdfunding page for the PowerShot PICK, its latest experimental camera, reveals more information on how the camera will operate. The campaign is already wildly successful, surpassing 5,900% of its goal at the time of publication.
Just two days after the initial rumor that Canon's experimental AI camera was close to coming to market, a Japanese publication has reported that it will be officially revealed at the end of January through a crowdfunding campaign.
Canon has publicly stated that it plans to put notable effort behind specialized cameras as it prepares for the future of the digital camera industry. Therefore, this latest rumor of a PowerShot camera driven by AI would make a lot of sense.
Face tuning apps have thrived for years in the mobile phone ecosystem, allowing users to make subtle (and sometimes not so subtle) changes to their appearance for a selfie-obsessed generation.
