- According to the barrel, the compact camera game with a new Powershot V1
- Announcement of the new camera for March / April
- The recent viral model Powershot G7 x Mark III could be interrupted
Point and rest digital cameras that are not a return were not part of my Bingo 2024 card – After all, smartphones have almost killed this market many years ago. However, several models became viral last year, nothing more than the Canon Powonhot G7 X Mark III in 2019, so it seems that there is still life in the pocket living.
I am absolutely for that, but as I have previously written on peak points for 2025, no leading brand manufactures new models, and therefore those looking to buy are left among models of several years , more and more occasion. It is in a certain way – the quality of popular and well revised cameras for years ago today. But, let’s be honest, new technology would also be welcome.
Now it seems that Canon will be the first of the big names to intensify and re -engage new peak points with significant upgrades after Canonrumors has published some stories with a little information on what he says is a new Next Powershot V1. It should be announced between March and May this year, with fairly exciting specifications and an estimated price of $ 600 and 800 (around £ 650-850).
What should happen simultaneously is the stop of the popular G7 X Mark III, and if this is the case, Canon must be all with a new compact Powershot improved – why are the words of a winning horse? Here is what is said and why the cannon restarting compact cameras makes sense.
A new dawn for Powershot?
It seems that Canon should start again with its Powershot compacts, abandoning the nomenclature of the G series to create PowerShot V-Series models. He has already launched the Powershot V10 VLogging camera in May 2023 and presented two Powershot concepts: a 360 -degree camera and a 180 -degree camera with VR capabilities. However, a new PowerShot V1 will be a good point and a shot for photographers, and I expected it to be of the most interest of all, especially if the rumors of its specifications and its prices are revealed on Money.
The highlighting characteristics supposedly include a CMOS sensor of 24 MP of cannon of a “nearly four-third” microphone “and a 3x optical zoom lens (approximately 16-50 mm). He will probably draw a 4K video with a slight harvest and include the color profiles C-LOG3 and HDR PQ of Canon. In addition, it can include a standard 3 inch screen, although it is not clear if it is a fixed, tilted or variety screen. There is also no appropriate word on the design of the V1, but the models suggest a camera that resembles G7 X III.
A large part of these key specifications total certain existing Powershot G-Series cameras. So, will it look like a new recovery, as Panasonic did with the recent Lumix ZS99 / TZ99? I hope that no and that Canon will also put newly developed features from its mirror cameras in the V1, like its latest autofocus system.
What is the most exciting of everyone, however, is the prospect that Canon launches a new compact camera which is easily available for purchase at a very reasonable price. There are simply not many high quality options available today for the $ 600 to $ 800 bar. Sprinkle in some new features, and I expect the Powershot V1 to be one of the most popular cameras of 2025.
There are even suggestions that Canon could bring out one or two surprises at CP + in Tokyo at the end of February – could the Powershot V1 be the star of the show?
