There's no viewfinder but you get a single shutter button and a mode dial at the back, which has the power switch and also lets you switch between still, video, multi (which could be a burst mode) and Wi-Fi, for syncing with your phone. Looking at some of the images on Indiegogo, the bottom appears to have a standard tripod mount so it can be mounted on to portable tripods. It's being marketed as “the ultimate, go-anywhere” camera. It features a carabiner-style clip, which can be clipped on to things. According to DPReview, the camera is about the size of a small pen drive. What's unique about the Ivy Rec is its design. The Canon Ivy Rec is said to feature a 13-megapixel, 1/3-inch CMOS sensor, full-HD video recording capability up to 60fps, built-in Bluetooth and Wi-Fi and a companion app called CanonMini Cam, which will let you get a live preview on your phone and also transfer images and videos to your device. The Canon Ivy Rec Indiegogo page is live, but pre-orders haven't been yet so we don't know what the Ivy Rec will cost. Plus, considering the fact that this will be Canon's first foray into the action camera space, it makes sense to play it safe. However, this could simply be a way of seeing how many people would be interested in such a product, before actually going ahead with the R&D, development, and marketing for what is, a pretty niche product. This is a bit of a surprising move for Canon, taking a crowdfunding route to create a new product. However, Canon is knocking 30 percent off the price, if you pre-order it (whenever pro-orders go live). The campaign is currently live on Indiegogo, although at this point, it's more of a sign-up page to receive further information about the product. Its called Ivy Rec and it's a tiny, USB thumb drive-sized clippable action camera which is said to be waterproof, shockproof, and has the ability to shoot stills and videos. Canon, the largest camera manufacturer in the world, has taken to crowdfunding site Indiegogo to make its first action camera a reality.
