The Canon PowerShot V1 is a compact digital camera built for people who shoot video first and stills second. It carries the largest sensor Canon has ever put in a PowerShot (a 1.4-type CMOS chip measuring 18.4 x 12.3 mm, with no low-pass filter) behind a fixed zoom that opens at f/2.8. In this price range, compacts normally give you the big sensor or the fast zoom. This one gives you both.
A zoom that actually covers the room. The lens runs 16-50mm equivalent for stills and 17-52mm for video, at f/2.8-4.5, roughly a 3.1x range. Sixteen millimetres is wide enough to hold the camera at arm's length and still keep your shoulders and the background in frame, the exact thing a phone gets wrong.
It records until you tell it to stop. There is a cooling fan built into the body, with Off, On and Auto settings and three fan speeds. That is the difference between a camera you can leave running and a compact that quits twenty minutes into a shoot. Video is oversampled, uncropped 4K at 30p, cropped 4K at 60p, and Canon Log 3 in 10-bit if you grade your footage.
Framing and audio you can check while you record. Three microphones with noise reduction handle voice, a clip-on windscreen is in the box, and there is a 3.5 mm microphone input plus a separate 3.5 mm headphone jack so you can actually hear what you are capturing. The 3.0-inch screen is vari-angle, it swings out to the side and rotates to face you. A built-in ND filter takes three stops off, so you can keep the aperture open in daylight.
Plug it in and it is a webcam. The USB-C port supports USB Video Class and USB Audio Class, so it shows up as a camera and a microphone at Full HD 30p on Windows and macOS with nothing to install. Dual Pixel CMOS AF II with eye detection keeps you sharp while you move around.
