Buying decision

Should you buy it?

Buy the PowerShot V1 if you vlog and want a bigger sensor than a 1-inch compact: reviewers praised its large 1.4-inch sensor, wide 3.1x zoom, built-in ND filter, sharp oversampled 4K30, effective hybrid stabilization and Canon's best compact autofocus. Skip it if you mainly shoot photos, because there's no viewfinder or flash and the zoom is short. 4K60 is cropped 1.4x without stabilization, the lens is slow, and reviewers saw flare and soft corners.

Best for

Vloggers and video-first creators.

Not for

Stills photographers.
