Canon, a leading name in the camera industry, has introduced a new model to its camera lineup. Here we are talking about the newly launched PowerShot V1. This compact point-and-shoot camera is designed for those who love both photography and videography. Let’s take a look at the PowerShot V1, its features, specifications, and expected price in Nepal.

PowerShot V1 Overview

Sensor

The PowerShot V1 comes with a large 1.4-inch CMOS sensor (18.4 x 12.2mm), a built-in cooling system, and Canon’s Dual Pixel AF II autofocus technology. This camera is made with videographers in mind, offering a 16-50mm equivalent zoom lens (f/2.8-4.5). It has a fully adjustable rear screen and top-mounted microphones with wind protection but no built-in flash or electronic viewfinder.

Furthermore, the camera is powered by Canon’s DIGIC X processor and can shoot photos with a maximum resolution of 22.3 megapixels. Its ISO range goes up to 32,000 for stills and 25,600 for videos. Plus, its 16-50mm lens is great for shooting handheld or in tight indoor spaces.

Photography and Videography

In terms of videography V1 can record 10-bit Log video using Canon Log3, allowing for color grading after shooting. Canon claims it can record 4K video at 60 frames per second for over two hours when the auto power-off setting is on high. Thanks to the built-in fan that helps keep the camera cool during long recordings.

Additionally, it features various shooting modes for video, a first for a PowerShot model.

For photos, the PowerShot V1 can capture 22.3-megapixel images at up to 30 frames per second. It uses the same autofocus system found in Canon R6 Mark II, ensuring fast and accurate focus.

For connectivity, the PowerShot V1 is equipped with USB-C, HDMI, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi, making it easy to transfer files or use the camera as a webcam.
