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.

Press Release

MELVILLE, N.Y., - March 26, 2025 — Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, answers the needs of video creators with the new PowerShot V1 and EOS R50 V. 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.
