In CES 2014 at Las Vegas, Canon has announced the PowerShot N100. It features a rear-facing 25mm camera, which can take a photo or video of the photographer at the moment the shutter release is pressed. It works for both stills and video. The image from the rear-camera can be embed into one of the corners of the actual image/video that was taken. The reason canon named Canon PowerShot N100 as ‘Story Camera’ because it can put together a video montage of recent events.
