Canon PowerShot V1 Digital Camera

The Canon PowerShot V1 is a compact digital camera that is purpose-built for content creators, vloggers, and streamers who demand pro-level performance in a portable, user-friendly package. It features a newly developed 22.3MP 1.4"-type CMOS sensor—twice the size of standard 1" sensors—offering exceptional image quality, improved low-light performance, and a wide dynamic range. With Dual Pixel CMOS AF II and enhanced pupil detection, it delivers fast, accurate autofocus that keeps you in sharp focus whether you're filming yourself or others.

Equipped with a versatile 16–50mm (equivalent) f/2.8–4.5 power zoom lens, the PowerShot V1 gives you everything from ultra-wide shots to natural close-ups. Its Optical Image Stabilisation ensures smooth, shake-free video, while a built-in 3-stop ND filter lets you shoot in bright conditions without compromising exposure or depth of field.

The PowerShot V1 truly shines in video. It supports high-quality UHD 4K recording at up to 60p, with oversampled 4K 30p for maximum sharpness. A built-in cooling fan allows for extended 4K shooting without overheating. Creators can use 10-bit recording and Canon Log 3 for colour-grading flexibility and dynamic range. Audio is equally impressive, thanks to the integrated three-microphone array, windscreen, and support for external mic and headphone monitoring via dedicated ports.

Canon has added several creator-friendly shooting modes to enhance workflow and ease of use. Smooth Skin Movie mode gives your footage a clean, polished look, while Movie Close-Up mode automatically focuses on items brought near the camera—perfect for product showcases. The three custom shooting modes also allow you to save your favourite still and video settings.

The PowerShot V1 is thoughtfully designed for handheld use. Its fully articulating 3.0" touchscreen makes vlogging and self-recording a breeze. The front-facing tally light confirms recording, and the newly designed grip ensures better comfort and control when filming yourself. A dedicated switch for stills and video—unique in the PowerShot line—makes switching between modes seamless.

Connectivity is another strong suit. With built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, you can easily control the camera remotely, transfer files, or live stream. The multi-function shoe supports advanced accessories, such as microphones or smartphone adapters. Canon's Live Switcher mobile app enables multi-camera streaming setups, while the Camera Connect app allows easy file management. You can stream in Full HD over USB or Wi-Fi for high-quality, real-time broadcasting.

The Canon PowerShot V1 combines professional-grade features with a portable, intuitive design—perfect for today’s fast-paced content creation needs. Whether you're filming a YouTube vlog, live streaming, or capturing high-quality stills, the V1 is a compact powerhouse that delivers.
