  • Additional informtion (in Japanese): DC.WatchProduct pageDetailed specsPress release
  • Translated press release and related videos:

The PowerShot V1 is the second compact digital camera in the PowerShot V series, which allows users to enjoy full-scale video shooting, following the Vlog camera PowerShot V10 (released in June 2023). Compared to the 1.0-type sensor installed in a normal compact digital camera, the 1.4-type CMOS sensor is about twice the area, achieving high image quality and high sensitivity. In 35mm equivalent, it covers a zoom range equivalent to a focal length of about 16mm to 50mm *1 , and is compatible with a wide range of scenes such as selfies with multiple people, snapshots, and Vlogs. In addition, it combines the functions required by creators, such as high-performance AF and a variety of shooting modes, with a compact body, making it easy to shoot full-scale videos and still images. Canon will continue to expand its models that can both shoot full-scale videos and still images to meet the needs of a variety of users.

Main features

An integrated lens camera that combines professional photography performance with a compact body

The combination of a 1.4-inch CMOS sensor with a maximum effective pixel count of approximately 22.3 million pixels *2 , the first Canon compact digital camera to be equipped with the DIGIC X image engine, achieves a maximum standard ISO sensitivity of 32,000 (when shooting still images). Canon's proprietary AF system, Dual Pixel CMOS AF II for PowerShot *3 , also achieves high-speed, high-precision AF. Furthermore, the inclusion of the Eye Detection *4 function makes it possible to detect the eyes of animals, whose movements are difficult to predict, in addition to people, making it easy to focus when shooting. With full-fledged shooting performance packed into a compact body, you can carry it around with you on trips and enjoy shooting.

Video recording functions that allow for greater freedom in video expression, including the incorporation of a cooling fan

The camera is equipped with a cooling fan inside, which efficiently releases heat, reducing the impact of temperature rise on video recording time. In addition to realizing 4K crop/60P video recording, it supports "Canon Log 3", allowing recording with rich 10-bit gradation and excellent color reproduction. Furthermore, shooting modes such as "Review Video", which is suitable for product reviews, and "Image Stabilization Video", which is effective for handheld shooting, *5 make video recording comfortable.

High-speed continuous shooting at up to 30 frames per second ensures you never miss a subject, and still image shooting functions enable a wide range of creative expression

When using the electronic shutter, continuous shooting at up to 30 frames per second is possible, making it possible to capture fast-moving subjects. In addition, the camera automatically recognizes the scene and supports difficult scenes such as night scenes and backlit scenes with the "Advanced A+" mode, and "Creative Filters" allow for impressive shots such as diorama and toy camera style shots, and many other functions that enable rich photographic expression.

*1 When shooting video, the focal length is equivalent to approximately 17mm to 52mm in 35mm format.

*2 When shooting still images. When shooting video: Maximum effective pixel count approx. 18.7 million pixels. The number of effective pixels may decrease due to image processing.

*3 The maximum measurable area is approximately 90% horizontal x 90% vertical.

*4 The subject that can be detected is the eyes of people and animals (dogs and cats). Birds and horses cannot be detected.

*5 When "Auto Horizon Correction: On" is set, the "Image Stabilization Video" setting cannot be set.

There were some rumors about a new GoPro Max camera last year, and yesterday the company announced a new and updated MAX 360 camera with a new editing experience, AI-powered object tracking, and Adobe plugins. The new model is now available for purchase at the official GoPro website (also check Amazon and B&H Photo).


Additional information:

GoPro today announced a suite of new 360 offerings, starting with the reintroduction of a refreshed MAX 360 camera, available for $349.99

SAN MATEO, Calif., Feb. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- GoPro, Inc. (NASDAQ: GPRO) today announced a suite of new 360 offerings, starting with the reintroduction of a refreshed MAX 360 camera. The 5.6K spherical camera now comes with a MAX Enduro Battery and an upgraded mounting system, making it compatible with all standard ¼-20 tripod mounts. All for only $349.99 MSRP.

GoPro also introduced a totally updated 360 mobile editing experience in its Quik App, now featuring a slew of new, easy-to-use features that make 360 editing MAX footage easier than ever:

  • AI-Powered Object Tracking: Pick a subject and Quik uses the power of AI to keep that object in view and in focus, automatically, for the entirety of the clip.

"MAX never misses—and that's why it's the go-to 360 camera for the world's most creative athletes, adventurers and content creators. Getting 'the shot' has never been this easy," says GoPro Founder and CEO, Nicholas Woodman. "And with the Quik App's new 360 editing experience, featuring AI-powered Object Tracking and simplified but powerful editing tools, it's never been this easy or fun to edit your 360 content into amazing sharable moments."

"And this is just the beginning," Woodman adds. "We're excited to launch powerful new app features on an ongoing basis to keep taking the GoPro 360 experience further and further this year."

GoPro Premium and Premium+ subscribers also get unlimited cloud storage and can now edit 360 footage directly from the cloud.

Desktop editors can also get the magic of Reframe in Adobe Premier Pro and After Effects, with the all-new GoPro Reframe plugin. Through the plugin, users can adjust angle, position, lens curvature, horizon level, motion blur and more for their 360 and 2D media.

The GoPro MAX 360 camera continues to be the ultimate companion to Reframe, available on the GoPro Quik app on both iOS and Android. Purchase MAX at GoPro.com or your local retailer for $349.99.

The rumors were true - Zeiss will announce mirrorless versions of their Otus lenses for Nikon Z, Sony E, and Canon RF mount. The first two lenses have already leaked online:

  • Zeiss Otus ML 50mm f/1.4 for Z/E/RF mount (£2,100)
  • Zeiss Otus ML 85mm f/1.4 for Z/E/RF mount (£2,350)


Zeiss originally had four Otus lenses:

I seriously doubt Zeiss will introduce any new version besides the four listed above. As I already wrote in my previous blog post, Zeiss is looking for a quick and easy revenue stream without spending money on research and development - just like OM System: re-house, promote with influencers, and sell at ridiculous prices.

Zeiss published a second teaser indicating that their new lens (or something else?) will be announced on February 25th - right before the start of the 2025 CP+ show in Japan:



There were already rumors of Zeiss exiting the photography business after the company did not announce any photography lenses in 6 years. As I already noted, my uneducated guess is that we will see new mirrorless versions of the existing Otus line. I do not think Zeiss will introduce anything completely new, but I could be wrong. They are looking for an easy revenue stream without spending money on research and development - just like OM System: re-house, promote with influencers, and sell at ridiculous prices.

15 février 2025 à 02:50


Sony released their Q3 FY2024 financial results - here is the recap from SonyAddict:


Entertainment, Technology & Service Segment:

  • Next is the ET&S segment.
  • Sales for the quarter decreased 4% year-on-year to 704.5 billion yen, primarily due to a decrease in unit sales of televisions, while operating income remained essentially flat at 77.1 billion yen.
  • The full-year forecast is unchanged from the previous forecast.


Imaging & Sensing Solutions Segment:

  • Next is the I&SS segment.
  • Sales for the quarter were essentially flat year-on-year at 500.9 billion yen, primarily due to a decrease in sales of mobile image sensors offsetting the impact of foreign exchange rates.
  • Despite the positive impact of foreign exchange rates, operating income decreased 2% year-on-year to 97.5 billion yen primarily due to increased manufacturing costs and the impact of the decreased sales.
  • We have slightly increased the full-year sales forecast from the previous forecast to 1 trillion 790 billion yen, while the forecast for operating income is unchanged.
