The Canon PowerShot V1 is a camera that the market is probably going to adore, albeit one that isn’t quite what it expected. The rumours would have us believe that the Canon PowerShot V1 was going to be a traditional compact camera, along the lines of the Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark III. In fact, it’s actually more of a compact vlogging camera, similar to the Sony ZV-1 II.
