Canon has introduced two new cameras and a motorised zoom lens. They are specially designed for content creators. The manufacturer calls them video-first products.
The Canon PowerShot V1 is a small camera with a built-in ultra-wide-angle lens. It is intended for vloggers and video makers who want to carry a small, pocket-sized camera without having to compromise.
The camera weighs 374 grams and has a fixed 16-50mm f/2.8-4.5 lens. The sensor measures 1.4 inches and offers 4K 60p video and 120p Full HD. There is optical image stabilisation of up to 5 stops, and the camera has C-Log3.
If you prefer more control over your recordings, choose the Canon EOS R50 V. This new camera has interchangeable lenses and offers more options. You get intelligent autofocus, oversampled 4K video and pro-level audio controls.
The EOS R50 V's 24MP APS-C sensor offers 4K 60p as well as 4K 30p oversampled from 6K. There is a vari-angle touchscreen, along with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, which make livestreaming possible.
The Canon RF-S 14-30mm f/4-6.3 IS STM PZ is a compact ultra-wide-angle lens with a built-in zoom motor. It works seamlessly with the new EOS R50 V and can also be controlled from the camera.
The lens can zoom at different speeds and has built-in 5-stop image stabilisation. The shortest focusing distance of 15cm allows you to take close-up shots. The lens weighs 181 grams and has an internal zoom mechanism.
