Every gadget is getting a front facing camera these days. Canon's new PowerShot N100 has been redesigned so that it can do more smartphone like things.

The PowerShot N100 is actually two cameras. There's a standard point-and-shoot camera on the front that uses an 5x optical zoom. On the back, the sub camera is not as great as the front one.

The two cameras will let you "frontback" yourself and what you're looking at. Using the Dual Capture mode, you get a big photo or video of a scene you're looking at, plus an inset picture-in-picture image of yourself.

What do you think of it? The camera is available in May.
