Canon Powershot V1

The Canon Powershot V1 is the perfect compact camera for the content creator who prioritizes video. The camera has a 1.4” sensor comparable to that of a Micro Four Thirds camera with a 2x crop factor. Now film in 4K 30p without a time limit. Slow motion options are also available with 4K 60p or Full HD 120p. The camera is equipped with a 16-50mm f/2.8 wide angle lens, perfect for vlogging or making travel and action videos. The Dual Pixel CMOS AF II autofocus system ensures that your hand-held shots are always perfectly in focus and the camera includes advanced tracking options. Want to take some photos in between? The camera takes 22MP RAW or CRAW images.

The Canon V1 has all the useful tools you need as a content creator, such as a rotating touchscreen, customizable buttons and a Lens Control Ring to which you can assign your own function. However, the camera distinguishes itself through its pro-video features. The V1 has the Canon Log 3 color profile, which means an enormous dynamic range and cinema-quality videos. The camera also has a handy built-in ND filter, so you can film without problems and without overexposure, even on sunny days. To help you get the right shot, the V1 has several modes: a Creative Assistant mode, Picture Styles and an advanced mode that determines the best composition depending on the scene you are in. Would you rather decide everything yourself? The camera includes useful overlays such as MF-peaking and Zebra. The V1 is also equipped with time coding and a tally lamp, indispensable for small film crews, for example. Finally, the camera has a microphone and headphone input, WiFi connection and USB to Camera Connect option.

The Canon V1 is perfect if you want to make the step from an action cam to a camera, but don't want to compromise on the video specs that photo cameras sometimes lack. The camera contains all the necessary tools, yet is very compact and easy to carry thanks to its sturdy, comfortable casing and grip.
