Canon has expanded its PowerShot line at CES 2013, with the 12.1-megapixel Canon PowerShot N unveiled as an ultra-compact snapper that features a new, unusually boxy design that is a combination of enjoyable and frustrating to use in equal measures.

Switching up conventional controls between an increasingly popular touchscreen and the rather unusual pairing of lens-mounted rings, one for zoom, one for the shutter, the Wi-Fi capable Canon PowerShot N is, on first impressions at least, a device that is designed for the Facebook ages, quick, quirky and extremely compact.
