Canon PowerShot V1
Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, introduces the new PowerShot V1 and EOS R50 V. Both cameras are part of Canon’s EOS/PowerShot V Series designed to help all creators, including cinema, livestreaming, vlogging, and VR, heighten their visual story telling.
“If you’re a creator, you want the ability to pursue your own visual expression without compromising quality,” the announcement states. “Something lightweight and compact that can be used anytime or anywhere to lift your vision forward—a camera that works with you.”
PowerShot V1 key features include:
- A newly designed grip created for both normal and selfie shooting.
- Ultra wide-angle zoom lens—approximately 17-52mm for movie recording and 16-50mm/F2.8-4.5 for still imagery.
- New 1.4 type sensor with approximately 22.3 megapixels for stills.
- Dual Pixel CMOS AF II for PowerShot for improved AF speed and subject detection tracking performance when compared to the PowerShot G7 X Mark III.
- A cooling fan inside the body to help enable longer video recording.
- A still image/movie shooting switch for quick and easy transition—the first in a PowerShot camera.
- Continuous still shooting at up to approximately 30 frames per second, a mechanical shutter with a maximum speed of 1/2000 seconds, and an electronic shutter with a maximum shutter speed of 1/16,000 seconds.
The Canon PowerShot V1 is designed for high quality video calls and livestream on a PC with a USB cable, and the camera works intelligently with smartphones—both wired and wirelessly—via the Canon Camera Connect app.
