GearScore™ Verdict — Which should you buy?
Vlogging & Travel — PowerShot V1 (2025): The PowerShot V1 is Canon's best compact camera — a 1-inch stacked sensor, Dual Pixel CMOS AF, 4K/60p, built-in ND, and an articulating screen in a pocketable body. It is the compact camera Canon's content-creator audience has been waiting for, and a genuine step forward over the G7X series.
Street, Documentary & Travel Photography — X-Pro2 (2016): The X-Pro series at its most balanced — 24MP X-Trans III, weather sealing, and a refined hybrid viewfinder that made it a street photography benchmark.
