Canon PowerShot GOLF: Elevate Your Golf Game with Canon’s New Image Recording Rangefinder

Canon has announced an exciting new venture into the laser rangefinder market with the introduction of the PowerShot GOLF. This innovative golf rangefinder not only measures distances but also records videos and images on the green, providing a comprehensive tool for golfers looking to improve their game.

Enhance Your Technique with Advanced Features

The PowerShot GOLF is equipped with the latest features typical of advanced rangefinders, but it stands out with its unique ability to capture photos and videos. Users can easily record images or videos with superimposed yardage data, offering detailed insights to analyze and enhance their golfing technique.

Beyond straight-line measurements, the PowerShot GOLF includes a slope mode that adjusts distances for elevation changes, helping golfers choose the right club and gauge the correct hitting distance more accurately. The pin-locking function ensures precision by targeting the closest subject for range finding, even when multiple subjects are detected. The continuous range finding function activates the laser continuously when the measurement button is half-pressed, ensuring accurate yardage to the flagpole rather than the trees behind it.

Crystal Clear View of Distant Targets

The device features a high-quality 2.36 million-dot OLED EVF, providing a clear and detailed view of the scene with an information overlay and a 60-fps refresh rate. This ensures golfers can closely inspect distant target areas before making their shot. The field of view ranges from an equivalent of 410mm on a full-frame camera to 820mm with 2x digital zoom, supported by optical image stabilization to keep the target steady.

Designed for On-the-Go Convenience

Compact and lightweight, the PowerShot GOLF is designed for ergonomic comfort with well-placed buttons for quick and intuitive one-handed operation on the field. Its IPX4 water resistance rating means it can be used in light rain without any issues. The rangefinder charges conveniently via a USB-C port and uses a MicroSD card for memory, making data transfer easy.

Pricing and Availability

Details on pricing and availability for the PowerShot GOLF will be announced at a later date. Stay tuned for more information on how this innovative device can elevate your golfing experience.
