The PowerShot V Series Will Become Canon's New Line of Compact Cameras

[Canon Rumors]

This should make the camera world happy. Canon will re-enter the compact camera segment in 2025 with the PowerShot V1. It will be a real compact camera and nothing like the PowerShot V10 that we initially assumed it would be.

Very very very good news, indeed!
Time to sell my Olympus E-PL with its atrocious ergonomics and menu!

I´ll second that!
So, when time comes to get a second small camera, I'll (generally speaking "we`ll") have great options
But with the 20mm F1.4 patent and this camera it already sounds like the couple of years are going to be expensive, especially since I do have plans to upgrade some other lenses and equipment

• 24MP CMOS Sensor (approx)
• Approximently 16-50mm (35mm Equivalent)

What sensor format will it be? The 35mm and 50mm equivalent don't quite fit for APS-C sensor in terms of the usual Canon crop factor of 1.6
Are there FF sensor in a such a small body possible? I think had such a camera once...

Is it just me or does that mockup look a lot like AI image generation? The jittery lines are often a good way to tell if its AI or not

Well, it was stated in the article that it is in fact an AI generated mockup image...
CR guy even listed the reasons and concerns of doing so...

"The source also sent in an AI generated image of what the camera will look like, as they didn’t feel comfortable sending in images of the actual camera. "

Well.. I guess the internet couldn't.

Thats what I get for not properly reading through the text. Shame on me

Equivalent field of view to 16-50mm, that's good. If compact cameras can expand their zoom range further, such as offering a 200mm lens, that could make them more competitive—although that's still just a fantasy. As you know ,some Chinese phone manufacturers have already launched devices with a 1-inch CMOS sensor with 24mm lens (35mm Equivalent).

Now we're cooking!

All I want from this line is good autofocus. The G7X III is great for photos but the RX100 VII blows it out of the water in video and autofocus. I use the RX100 VII as my compact camera and the EVF, flash and zoom make it great for almost everything, but I can't stand the menus.

What sensor format will it be?

That and the zoom range/lens spec would be my most desired information, before I'd start saving my money.

If I could make a wish:
Give me camera like the G7X MkIII, 1" sensor, latest sensor design, DPAF and AF like in the lower end bodies (R50), and the same lens, (or better, but 24-100 mm FF eq) as the Mk III has.
16-50mm (35mm Equivalent) is too short for me. If it was an APS-C sensor, than that would make me rethink.

I think we all understand, you simply were too excited by the good news!

 

[Del Paso]

The first picture in the post looks very good, design as clean as a Leica Q3.
I hope the real product is similar!

 

[Morte66]

No viewfinder. While I imagine the new camera is better for image quality, I think I'll find my G5 X II a better photography tool.

Does canon release patents for these type of bodies with built in lenses or only detachable lenses?

 

[sanj]

Interested. And the \'proposed\' image is amazing.

There have been patents with fixed lens designs in the past, they aren't very common though. What does come about more often is compact lens optical designs. Though not many since they stopped with the development. I would expect to start seeing some over the next bunch of months.

Personally, I think going with a new designation is an unwise decision when so many people are hyping the G7XII currently.
Also I hope Canon doesn't make the same mistake like Panasonic with the ZS99 and doesn't give us a camera with mediocre sensor and lens. Keeping my fingers crossed that it'll be a real G7X successor.
