Canon PowerShot N – My Initial Impression

A day before attending Canon Singapore media launch event, I received a nice brown box, consisting of a press release and a wooden hand. My first reaction, what had that wooden hand got to do with a Canon compact digital camera? That got me interested, I was like “being hooked” and decided to look closer to examine the wooden hand. There was a nice little booklet on the wooden hand grip, almost exactly the size of the Canon PowerShot N that I touched the very next day during Canon Singapore media launch event. The press release information and details can be found here if you like to read more about it!
