NEW YORK, March 26, 2025 -- B&H is pleased to share the introduction of Canon PowerShot V1 digital camera, rebooting its legacy PowerShot series with the introduction of the new PowerShot V1 digital camera, replanting its flag in the renascent point-and-shoot space with a video-friendly compact. Intended as the flagship of the new PowerShot V series, the video-first V1 features a brand-new sensor, a full-frame equivalent 16-50mm f/2.8-4.5 fixed wide-angle zoom lens, a 3" vari-angle LCD touchscreen, and enhanced video capabilities to appeal directly to vloggers and content creators.

As the flagship V model, V1 video tops out at 4K60p with a 1.4x crop, with a built-in cooling fan and vents that allow capture times of up to two hours at this maximum setting. When shooting at a slower 4K30p, the camera makes the full use of the sensor with footage oversampled from 5.7K.
In video mode the camera has a maximum ISO 25600 for use in low-light situations and comes equipped with Canon Log 3 for wider dynamic range and more flexibility in post-production color grading. Multiple in-camera movie modes are supported as well.
The camera's 22MP, Type 1.4 sensor is a brand-new design developed in-house by Canon. Almost twice the area of a 1" sensor of the G7X Mark III, but smaller than an APS-C sensor, the V1's Type 1.4 market analogue is a Micro Four Thirds sensor, differently slightly in its native 3:2 aspect ratio. With this larger sensor - one of the largest of its class - it achieves a higher image quality, improved low-light performance, and smoother bokeh.
Joining the new sensor is Canon's DIGIC X image processor, and with it, Canon's Dual Pixel CMOS AF II autofocus system – the same found in the R6 Mark II, achieving high-speed and high-precision AF with eye tracking in people and animals and enhanced subject tracking.
While primarily catering to video content creation, the V1 still functions well as a stills camera, with RAW continuous shooting reaching up to 30 fps. Light sensitivity gets an added stop at ISO 51200, and a built-in ND filter adds three stops of light reduction for shooting in bright environments. With no built-in flash, the V1 does have Canon's multi-function hot shoe to take external strobes.
Weighing barely more than a pound with battery and media, the camera's compact form-factor still accommodates connections for headphone, microphone, USB-C, and HDMI. The camera has one UHS-II SD card slot. Connection to the Canon Connect smartphone app is possible via both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, and wired via the USB-C. Wired connection also allows the use of the V1 as a webcam.
