According to the latest rumors, Canon will soon announce the Canon V1 PowerShot compact camera. The rumor is not new; we published updates on December 30, 2023. At that time, we saw multiple prototypes of the compact camera.
Latest rumors surfaced over the web suggest Canon is working on the V1 camera, which is expected to carry a large one-inch sensor OR a Micro Four Thirds format sensor. In the past, we have seen that Canon has implemented a 20Mp 1inch sensor in their G7X series cameras and a 24-megapixel DPAF sensor inside their G1 X Mark series camera, respectively.
The previous generation of Canon G7 accessories cameras used the one-inch sensor, mainly dependent on Sony Imaging Division for their sensor supply. So what I feel at this very moment is that either Canon will again seek help or shake hands with Sony Imaging Corporation for their 1-inch 20MP hybrid sensor supply for their upcoming compacts, or they can directly use the 24-megapixel DPAF sensor of their R50 and R10 in their premium V-series compact camera. As they did in the past with the G1X flagship series.
Canon V1 Specification [Rumored]
- 24MP CMOS Sensor (approx)
- 16-50mm (35mm Equivalent)
- 3″ Screen (Approx 1 million pixels)
- The screen has a 170° viewing angle
- 4K Video (Very slight crop, but likely for aspect ratio)
- 1.4X Crop Mode for Stills
- RAW, C-RAW, Dual Pixel RAW
- H.265 / HEVC
- C-Log3 / HDR PQ
- Launch: Late Q1/Early Q2 2025
Technically, it’s easy for them to announce a one-inch sensor-based compact or an APS-C sensor-based camera instead of using a brand-new M4/3 sensor from the NEW supply chain. What I think is that there is a very rare possibility or probability that the upcoming Canon V-series compact will use a Micro Four Thirds format sensor.
Right now we have two different variations of Sony’s 1-inch sensor being used in Sony ZV-series compact cameras, the first one of the CDAF sensor being used in the ZV-1F camera, and the other variation of Sony compact the ZV-1, which uses HYBRID CMOS AF sensor, comes at a higher price. So, it will be really interesting to see which 20MP variant is being used by the upcoming Canon camera.
At the same time, while I am writing this article, very few specifications are available about the upcoming camera. As soon as we get any, we will be posting them on our website. Stay tuned.
