Canon returns to the compact camera category with a serious product after decades. The Canon PowerShot V1 is the camera both creative photographers and vloggers have been waiting for.
What is the Canon PowerShot V1?
Introduced in 2024, the PowerShot V1 combines a 1-inch CMOS sensor, built-in variable ND filter, and 4K video capabilities in a compact body. This model, which redefines Canon's "creative compact" vision, is available in Turkey through Retrocameraland.

Built-in ND Filter: Why It's a Game-Changer
An ND filter allows you to control exposure in overly bright environments. This accessory, normally purchased separately, comes built-in with the V1 — no glass pieces to carry in front of the lens, no hassle of changing them. You can even shoot at f/2.8 in bright sunlight.
4K and Slow Motion: Content Creators' Choice
FHD 120fps slow motion provides 4x slower playback than normal speed. Waves, vehicle movement, dance steps — ordinary moments turn into cinematic sequences. 4K 30fps offers broadcast-ready quality directly for YouTube and social media.
Who is it Ideal For?
- Vlog and social media content creators
- Travel photographers (compact yet powerful)
- Those seeking both photo and video quality
- Those wanting 1-inch sensor quality in a pocket-sized form factor
