We have the first leaked image of the Canon RV camera. The Canon RV camera is Canon’s dedicated camera made for content creators. Just like we have the Sony ZV series, similarly, in Canon, we have the V series. In the V series, we already have a few compacts, and recently, Canon announced the V1 compact camera.
Now it’s time for a mirrorless V series camera. These are going to compete directly against the Sony ZV10, ZV10 Mark II, or maybe the ZV E1—who knows soon?
Canon RV Mounting Options
From the leaked images, it is very clearly visible that the camera is mounted from the side of a grip. So we have two options to mount the camera: vertically and horizontally, depending on the type of content creation you require.
Top Features & Controls
On the top of the camera, we have a certain button that resembles the shutter button of the Sony ZV series camera. Along with that, we also have a power zoom lever. The lens attached to the Canon RV camera supports power zoom functionality, and we can see the designation of T and W, meaning it can be operated manually as well as via the lever. This allows for a very smooth cinematic zoom experience with the lens.
Control Dials for Customization
Just after the zoom lever and the video recording button, we have two Mode dials:
- One is dedicated to different modes.
- One is a custom dial that can be set to a preferred ISO, meaning it’s a custom zone for professional users.
Hot Shoe for Accessories
In the center of the Canon RV camera, at the very top, we have a multifunctional Canon hot shoe that can be used for Canon wireless microphones and other accessories made for the RV series camera.
Built-in Microphone & Audio Ports
On the extreme left side, we can see multiple vents for the microphone, which indicates a high-quality 3-capsule-style microphone setup inside the Canon RV body.
Connectivity & Ports
On the very extreme left side of the camera, we can clearly see multiple rubber compartments that Canon has sorted out beautifully. The ports include:
- Microphone and headphone port
- Micro HDMI port
- USB-C port (for data transfer and recharging the camera on the go)
Front Design & Branding
On the front of the camera, we can clearly see:
- A microphone button
- A lens release button
- Canon RV branding
- A tally lamp, just like in professional cinema cameras
Expected Sensor & Specifications
So that’s the analysis of the leaked image we have right now. Most probably, the camera will use the same 24-megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor that we have seen inside the Canon R50 and Canon R10 cameras.
Expected Announcement Date
Although we are waiting for the final specifications of the camera, since the image has been leaked, it is expected that the announcement of the camera is very near.
We will update you as soon as we get any details related to the Canon RV camera.
