This winter has brought a number of new point and shoot digital compact cameras announcements that have caught my eye as well many other hikers. They are small in size, lots of great features such as GPS, long zooms,1080P videos, high megapixels, touch screens and much more. They are perfect for hikers capturing those special moments or scenery shots in 2012. Canon started it off in early January with the announcement of the new Canon G1X and ELPH Series.
