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.

Vlogging, Content Creation & Lightweight Travel — DC-G100D (2023): The lightest capable MFT mirrorless for vloggers — phase-detect AF, directional audio, and the full Lumix lens ecosystem under 350g.
