These additions to Canon’s EOS and PowerShot V Series are designed to elevate visual expression across stills, cinematic video, livestreaming and more.
Canon has introduced three new products designed specifically for content creators, aiming to enhance their filming experience with compact, high-performance equipment. The latest additions include the PowerShot V1, a pocket-sized camera with an ultra-wide lens for vloggers seeking quality without bulk, the EOS R50 V, an advanced interchangeable lens camera packed with professional filmmaking features, and the RF-S 14-30mm F4-6.3 IS STM PZ, Canon’s first RF lens with an internal power zoom for smooth, high-quality footage.
The PowerShot V1 is a 4K compact camera built for portability and ease of use, featuring an integrated ultra-wide lens, a large sensor for superior image quality and advanced stabilisation technology for shake-free recording. Equipped with an active cooling system, it enables extended 4K recording at 60p, making it comfortable for vloggers and livestreamers. Canon’s Dual Pixel CMOS AF II ensures precise autofocus tracking, while the built-in 16-50mm f/2.8-4.5 lens offers a versatile zoom range. Weighing just 374g, the camera fits conveniently in a pocket and includes Optical Image Stabilisation for smooth handheld footage. Additional features such as a vari-angle touchscreen, built-in microphone with noise reduction, and external audio connectivity make it a powerful tool for solo creators.
For those looking to expand their creative potential, the EOS R50 V offers the flexibility of interchangeable RF lenses and high-end filmmaking features, including Canon Log 3 for professional colour grading and intelligent autofocus. With an advanced 24MP sensor, oversampled 4K 30p recording with 6K oversampling and Full HD 120p slow-motion capabilities, this camera is designed for content creators aiming to produce high-quality cinematic footage. It also features a dedicated vertical tripod mount, aspect markers for perfect social media compositions, and seamless connectivity for fast content transfers. The EOS R50 V integrates with Canon’s Live Switcher Mobile App, allowing creators to livestream with multi-camera setups directly to YouTube or Facebook.
The RF-S 14-30mm F4-6.3 IS STM PZ lens rounds out the new lineup, offering an internal power zoom for smooth transitions and enhanced stabilisation for handheld recording. Its ultra-wide non-extending design, combined with quiet autofocus, makes it suitable for vloggers and filmmakers seeking versatility. The lens allows remote zoom operation via smartphone or Bluetooth remote and includes a 15cm minimum focus distance for capturing fine details.
This product launch marks a significant expansion of Canon’s video-first lineup, reinforcing the company’s commitment to empowering content creators at every level. By adding to its existing PowerShot V10, Canon continues to provide purpose-built tools that help vloggers, filmmakers and livestreamers transform their creative visions into high-quality content.
