Canon PowerShot V Series
Canon's compact content-creator cameras — built for vlogging and social.
The Canon PowerShot V series targets content creators and vloggers who want excellent image quality in an ultra-compact body. The V10 brought a unique vertical-format design for smartphone-style vlogging; the V1 evolved the formula with a 1-inch sensor and a versatile zoom lens for more demanding creative work.
