Canon Announces the Global Release of the PowerShot V1 No great surprise that the other camera released was the PowerShot V1, a little hard not to guess when Canon USA teased us with a giant "V" teaser and the silhouette of the PowerShot V1. The price of the V1 is going to be $900 with the release this April.

Both cameras are part of Canon’s growing EOS/PowerShot V Series which seeks to help all creators, including cinema, livestreaming, vlogging, and VR, heighten their visual story telling. Canon Reinvigorates Point-and-Shoot If you’re a creator, you want the ability to pursue your own visual expression without compromising quality. Something lightweight and compact that can be used anytime or anywhere to lift your vision forward—a camera that works with you. Designed with a smart and modern concept, the PowerShot V1 is a reliable partner boasting key features including: 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 also designed with workflow top of mind. Creators can leverage high quality video calls and livestream on a PC with a single USB cable, and the camera works intelligently with smartphones—both wired and wirelessly—via the Canon Camera Connect app. Specifications Price MSRP $899.99, £959.99 Body type Body type Compact Sensor Max resolution 5750 x 3840 Effective pixels 22 megapixels Sensor photo detectors 24 megapixels Image Boosted ISO (maximum) 51200 White balance presets 6 Custom white balance Yes Image stabilization Optical Image stabilization notes 5.0EV correction (center) CIPA image stabilization rating 5 stop(s) Uncompressed format RAW File format JPEG, HEIF, CR3 Raw Optics & Focus Focal length (equiv.) 16–50 mm Optical zoom 3.1× Maximum aperture F2.8–4.5 Normal focus range 5 cm (1.97″) Screen / viewfinder Articulated LCD Fully articulated Screen size 3″ Screen dots 1,040,000 Touch screen Yes Live view Yes Viewfinder type None Photography features Minimum shutter speed 30 sec Maximum shutter speed 1/2000 sec Maximum shutter speed (electronic) 1/16000 sec Exposure modes P, Tv, Av, M, Scene Intelligent Auto, SCN, Creative Filter Built-in flash No External flash Yes (Mutil-function shoe) Flash X sync speed 1/2000 sec Continuous drive 30.0 fps Self-timer Yes (2 and 10 sec) Metering modes Multi Center-weighted Partial Videography features Format XF-AVC, H.264, H.265 Modes 3840 x 2160 @ 60p, 10-bit, H.265, 1.4x Crop 3840 x 2160 @ 50p, 10-bit, H.265, 1.4x Crop 3840 x 2160 @ 30p, 10-bit, H.265, 1x Crop 3840 x 2160 @ 25p, 10-bit, H.265, 1x Crop 3840 x 2160 @ 23.98p, 10-bit, H.265, 1x Crop 3840 x 2160 @ 60p, 8-bit, H.264, 1.4x Crop 3840 x 2160 @ 50p, 8-bit, H.264, 1.4x Crop 3840 x 2160 @ 30p, 8-bit, H.264, 1x Crop 3840 x 2160 @ 25p, 8-bit, H.264, 1x Crop 3840 x 2160 @ 23.98p, 8-bit, H.264, 1x Crop 1920 x 1080 @ 120p, 10-bit, H.265, 1x Crop 1920 x 1080 @ 100p, 10-bit, H.265, 1x Crop 1920 x 1080 @ 60p, 10-bit, H.265, 1x Crop 1920 x 1080 @ 50p, 10-bit, H.265, 1x Crop 1920 x 1080 @ 30p, 10-bit, H.265, 1x Crop 1920 x 1080 @ 25p, 10-bit, H.265, 1x Crop 1920 x 1080 @ 23.98p, 10-bit, H.265, 1x Crop 1920 x 1080 @ 120p, 8-bit, H.264, 1x Crop 1920 x 1080 @ 100p, 8-bit, H.264, 1x Crop 1920 x 1080 @ 60p, 8-bit, H.264, 1x Crop 1920 x 1080 @ 50p, 8-bit, H.264, 1x Crop 1920 x 1080 @ 30p, 8-bit, H.264, 1x Crop 1920 x 1080 @ 25p, 8-bit, H.264, 1x Crop 1920 x 1080 @ 23.98p, 8-bit, H.264, 1x Crop Microphone Stereo Speaker Mono Storage Storage types SD (UHS II) Connectivity USB USB 2.0 (480 Mbit/sec) HDMI Yes (Type D) Microphone port Yes Headphone port Yes Wireless Built-In Wireless notes 2.4GHz 802.11b/g/n + Bluetooth 4.2 Physical Battery Battery Pack Battery description LP-E17 Weight (inc. batteries) 426 g (0.94 lb / 15.03 oz) Dimensions 118 x 68 x 53 mm (4.65 x 2.68 x 2.09″) Other features GPS None Richard @ CanonNewsRichard @ CanonNews Richard has been using Canon cameras since the 1990s, with his first being the now legendary EOS-3.
