Welcome to the PowerShot V1, a powerful video-first camera with all the features you are looking for content creation, in an all-in-one design. This new sleek design features an ultra-wide-angle zoom lens, advanced autofocus, a built-in cooling fan, and impressive stabilization. The PowerShot V1 will let you focus on your creativity without worrying about time limits getting in the way of your videos.
- The lens: The PowerShot V1 is equipped with an ultra-wide-angle zoom lens that is equivalent to a 17-52mm lens for Full Frame cameras (16-50mm when taking still photos) with an aperture range of F2.8-11 at the wide-angle setting, making it ideal for vlogging without the worry about changing lenses. A built-in 3-stop ND filter is available, for bright outdoor lighting conditions, so you are ready to shoot, wherever you are.
- Get Up Close: Capture subjects in large detail by focusing down to 5.9 inches. This enables richly expressive close-up shots using the wide angle of view and bokeh that a wide-angle lens can provide.
- The sensor: Larger than the sensors typically found on compact cameras, the newly designed 1.4-type CMOS sensor, has 22.3 megapixels for still images (18.7 megapixels for video), giving you enhanced image quality which provides a shallower depth of field, better light performance, improved Dynamic Range and greater ISO performance.
- Keeping it cool: The PowerShot V1 features a cooling fan to keep internal components frm getting too hot, allowing for unlimited continuous shooting at 4K60P. The fan pulls heat from the sensor and vents it out the side to prevent overheating, which extends recording times and ensures consistency during long shoots.
- Video: This camera is focused on the video content creator, and it shows with oversampled and uncropped options for both 1080 and 4K30 for enhanced sharpness and detail. It also offers cropped 4K60, providing clarity and smoothness of 4K resolution at 60fps, with an approximate crop factor of 1.4x. For more advanced users, the PowerShot V1 also has Canon Log 3, allowing you to record movies with a wide dynamic range and 10-bit color depth, starting at a base speed of ISO 800.
- Shooting modes: Since this camera was created around the idea of capturing video, it comes with some unique features that enhance your creations. Let’s start with a close-up movie mode for displaying small objects (which the dual pixel AF II will lock onto. Of course you also have Movie IS to reduce camera shake for clear videos, and Smooth Skin Movie. You can also use the standard choices of full-auto, full manual operation, and Shutter- or Aperture-priority exposure.
- Keep it steady: Your videos will look even more professional with both lens optical IS and Movie digital IS functions from our EOS mirrorless cameras, working separately or together to provide fantastic image stabilization. Even if you're walking while shooting, your footage will look natural and steady. We’ve also introduced Subject Tracking Image Stabilization, which prioritizes stabilization at the subject’s location when it’s off-center.
- Selfie Service: Chances are that you will be capturing a lot of yourself, so we have included features to make that experience even better, like a flip out LCD so you can see yourself in front of the camera. A tally light has been added to the front of the camera so you know when it is recording. Even the grip has been redesigned to be better held from the front utilizing your thumb for stability and to control the tilt. Everything you need to make yourself look great!
- The right connections: This camera also offers fabulous connectivity so that you can capture and share yourcreative endeavors effortlessly. With Bluetooth you can connect to your smartphone to use it as a wireless remote control for capturing images even in continuous shooting modes. The PowerShot V1 also supports Full HD streaming over USB and wireless LAN, perfect for video calls or live streaming.
- Live Switcher Mobile: Just install the app and connect your smartphone wirelessly, and you can live stream while switching between up to three cameras. Switching between screens helps you keep your viewers engaged. You can show the best angles that work for you. Simple to use, this app allows you to switch smoothly even when solo streaming.

Love it
I’m loving this camera. The only issue is the flash. This camera doesn’t come with a flash pictures. Come out gorgeous during the day and I’ve been having trouble looking for a to add on so I could take pictures at night time, but besides that it’s a great camera.

Excellent entry camera for aspiring creators
PROS: Video quality and photo clarity Ease of use (automatic features for those who don't want to tinker) Compact, yet weighty and robust (it feels great in hand) Phone connectivity works well (once you get connected) User-friendly features for newcomers Subject autofocus is well implemented Built-in cooling fan and ND filters work well Autotransfer your work to your phone's photo app (this is perfect for sharing your work) SO-SO: Price ($900+) Video stabilization (there are programs to help this post shoot, though) Battery life (about an hour of 4K recording) CONS: No onboard flash (you can purchase a Canon flash for $300+) No case included (which would have been nice since it's geared toward vloggers and adventurous users) No USB-C cable included (not only should one be included, but a fast charging brick should be too) No SD card included (for $800+ cams, this should be standard) When it comes to point-and-shoots, cell phones have become incredible for capturing your surroundings at the drop of a hat. While that is still true, especially for the latest and greatest phones like the Google Pixel line or the iPhone, when you want to take your time, dial in your camera, and take "professional-like" photos and videos, you'll find that the Canon PowerShot V1 is an excellent gateway device into semi or professional photography. So far, it has proven to be an impressive compact camera. My brother is a professional photographer, and at times I am his second shooter, so I've been around high-end cameras and am experienced with how they operate. The camera's functionality is well-organized, making it easy to access various settings once you learn the different button functions. I've used it mainly as a source for my kids and our Christmas cards, but have also brought it on a few outdoor excursions to capture some landscape photos. If you're new to cameras, you might feel intimidated about bringing one along with you on adventures. You may worry that it will be cumbersome or that it could get damaged. However, there's no need to be concerned. This camera is compact and lightweight, measuring about 2.7 inches tall, 4.7 inches wide, and 2.1 inches deep, weighing only 0.94 pounds. The 24.2-megapixel sensor produces clear and colorful photos. It is sturdy and has a good weight, so I'm confident it can withstand a drop or two (as long as it lands on a soft surface). On the still photography side, there are some limitations. While manually configuring settings can yield excellent results, the default settings may leave something to be desired, particularly in low-light conditions, where details can get lost. But in well-lit settings, I found the standard settings to work very well. While I use the camera's still photography mode more, the video quality is where the Canon excels. Consider this an excellent entry into videography or for content creators on the go. Notably, the camera supports "C-Log 3", helping users with custom color grading. The audio quality is surprisingly good for an onboard microphone, especially with the included wind screen. You can record in 4K or HD, choose your recording frame rate, and select different shooting modes. It also allows audio recording, image stabilization, and wireless connections through Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. The autofocus system is both fast and precise, with effective tracking for objects, people, and animals. However, the image stabilization could be improved; even with the "Enhanced" setting, it falls short compared to modern smartphones. Another major downside is that the V1 lacks a built-in flash, so you will need to buy one separately ($300+). If you want the flash accessory, the V1 does have an adapter to fit it, but with the camera's cost added, you'll be looking at a total of $1100+. That's a tough price to swallow for an in-between camera meant to ease into professional photography or vlogging. The camera has a 3-inch color touchscreen that is easy to use and responsive. You can customize your settings using the touchscreen or buttons, whichever you're used to. The built-in cooling fan is a standout feature that you can adjust or set to automatically operate. The battery life is short, offering about an hour of recording at 4K. If you're using this mainly as a vlogging device, it's worth buying an additional battery and keeping it ready to go for long sessions when you're out and about. For photography-focused use, though, the battery is more than enough. The Canon Camera Connect App allows smartphone connectivity via Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. This feature offers capabilities such as remote camera control, image transfers, and live streaming, all of which function smoothly. What I especially love is the autotransfer feature that will automatically send your V1 photos to your chosen photo app on your cellphone. This is perfect for those of us who love to share our work with friends and family.

LOVE THE CAMERA BUT COULD BE BETTER!!!
The Canon PowerShot V1 is a really fun little camera to use, especially for someone just getting into Vlogging or creating content or even simply transitioning from using their phone to an actual camera. The V1 offers tons, and I mean tons of options to give you the best overall result of your photos and videos. So, let’s go over what makes this canon a PowerShot. Setup: The setup process is simple, insert the battery and charge it, mine was pretty much dead when it arrived. Now a couple of things bothered me a little bit when I first opened the box on this camera. No SD card and No charging cable, yes, we were told beforehand that we would need an SD card, but you would think at this price point that Canon would include an SD card and a charging cable. I get that everyone is trying to get away from providing a power adapter but it’s starting to get annoying. Done with my rant, now let’s continue. Once charged up the camera will guide you through the setup process including downloading the Canon Camera Connect app. You can use the app to transfer images on camera, live stream, and use the phone as a controller. At this point you are ready to go and explore and share your experience with the world. Features: The V1 offers tons of features and options that you can tweak to your liking. Options such as recording 4K or HD, choosing the Rec Frame rate, Shooting modes, Audio recording, image stabilization, wireless connection via Bluetooth or WIFI and so much more. The camera has a nice 3-inch color and touch screen display, and you can customize your setting easily either using the buttons or the touch screen. The screen can be flipped to your liking and controls the power on the camera. The camera also has a built-in cooling fan, which also can be adjusted or kept on auto. The camera is small, compact and lightweight. The camera measures about 2.7 H X 4.7 W x 2.1 D and .94 pounds. The Canon PowerShot V1 is an impressive compact camera that strikes a great balance between portability and performance. The 24.2-megapixel sensor delivers crisp, colorful shots, while the 4K video recording also looks sharp and smooth, which makes this a great option for vlogging, or travel videos. The Autofocus is quick and accurate most of the time, especially when shooting in decent lighting. FYI, there is no built-in flash on this camera, so you will need to buy one separately. The battery life on the V1 is not the greatest, you’re looking at an hour of recording time on 4K, so I would highly recommend getting an extra battery for the camera if you are going be out and about. Overall, this camera delivers excellent image quality and feature versatility in a small package. It loses one star mainly due to no flash, SD card and Charing cable, but it’s still a strong value for vloggers and photographers who prioritize 4K detail and ease of use.
