Canon PowerShot V1 (SKU 6390C005AA)

The PowerShot V1 is designed for content creators who want a small, easy-to-carry camera with serious video tools. Sitting between the PowerShot V10 and EOS R50 V in Canon’s lineup, it combines a built-in zoom lens with a large sensor in a compact body, making it ideal for vloggers, livestreamers and influencers who need high-quality footage at home or on the move.

Scroll-stopping image quality

Record unlimited 4K video, with 4K 60p for detailed, smooth motion and Full HD 120p for polished slow-motion clips. Active cooling lets you shoot for extended periods without worrying about overheating, making it well suited to long sessions and intensive shooting days.

Confident, reliable autofocus

Enjoy sharp, accurate focus with Dual Pixel CMOS AF and intelligent subject recognition that can detect both people and animals. The large 1.4-inch sensor delivers high-quality 4K even in low light, while the built-in wide-angle lens provides a natural field of view for effortless vlogging.

Compact, simple and ready to go

At just 374 g, the PowerShot V1 is light enough to take everywhere and small enough to fit in a bag or large pocket. It is shaped and tuned for vertical shooting with taller aspect ratios, making it easy to create content optimised for social media. Advanced image stabilisation helps keep handheld footage smooth, whether you’re filming on the street or walking and talking to camera.

Clear, controlled audio

Use the built-in stereo microphone with noise reduction to capture clean, high-quality sound wherever you are. For more control, plug in an external microphone and monitor your audio in real time with headphones so your sound matches the quality of your video.

Shoot, share and stream with ease

Start recording instantly with the dedicated record button. Then connect your smartphone via Wi-Fi or USB to transfer content quickly for editing or posting. You can also livestream with simple plug-and-play setup, and use the vari-angle screen to make sure you stay perfectly framed.
