Canon PowerShot V1 Compact Camera Summary

The Canon PowerShot V1 Compact Camera provides the agility to do everything with just one compact camera, expanding the possibilities of everyday vlogging and photography. This is the latest  to arrive, and it packs all of the essential features needed for photography, vlogging and video into a single super-portable compact body.

The V1 boasts a large 1.4-inch 22.3MP sensor that has approximately twice the area of a 1.0 inch sensor found in many compact cameras. This larger sensor is able to deliver better image quality with considerably better low light performance. Even the texture of hair and skin is more delicately rendered, and this high-end camera is able to produce high-resolution video and outstanding stills images from a single point-and-shoot body.

Along with a new sensor the PowerShot V1 introduces the newly developed Dual Pixel CMOS AF II for PowerShot. This advanced AF system from  enables the camera to maintain tenacious focus over a wide area, even on fast moving subjects such as children or pets. An advanced subject detection algorithm automatically tracks the subject in a variety of scenes, so that you can focus on the creative aspect of the shot, rather than worrying about focus.

An integrated wide angle zoom lens provides a full-frame equivalent of approximately 17-52mm when shooting video, and approximately 16-50mm for photos. The bright zoom lens features an aperture range of f/2.8-4.5, which is suitable for a variety of subjects without ever needing to change lenses.

When shooting photos the lens it can be set to 1.4x crop using an area equivalent to a 1.0-inch sensor, and can also be switched to a standard focal length of approximately 23-71mm. The lens’ optical IS and electronic image stabilisation work together to reduce camera shake and capture natural footage even when filming handheld while walking.
