  • 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).

"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."

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.
