Canon Introduces New Video-Centric Cameras and Lens to Empower Modern Creators

Canon is revolutionizing content creation with the launch of three exciting new products: the EOS R50 V, PowerShot V1, and the RF-S14-30mm f/4-6.3 IS STM PZ lens. Designed with video-focused features, these innovations cater to the needs of today’s creators, offering advanced tools for vlogging, livestreaming, and filmmaking.

PowerShot V1: Compact Power for Creators

Canon’s first all-in-one video-centric compact camera, the PowerShot V1, boasts a 22.3-megapixel 1.4-inch type sensor, nearly twice the size of traditional compact camera sensors. With a versatile 17-52mm equivalent zoom for video and 16-50mm equivalent for stills, the V1 delivers outstanding performance across diverse applications—from vlogging and reels to short-form dramas.

A standout feature is its internal cooling fan, inspired by professional cinema cameras, enabling longer livestreaming and recording sessions. Its f/2.8–f/4.5 ultra-wide zoom lens, lightweight design, and intuitive controls make it an ideal companion for creators seeking portability without compromise.

EOS R50 V: Advanced Features for Professionals

The EOS R50 V redefines functionality with features borrowed from Canon’s high-end Cinema EOS lineup. It introduces tools like Custom Pictures, HDR PQ, HLG, and professional recording formats such as XF-HEVC S. A dedicated movie-focused control layout includes a vertical shooting tripod socket, zoom lever, and one-touch livestreaming buttons, making it perfect for vertical content creators.

Additional features include:

• Slow & Fast Motion Mode: Full HD slow-motion up to 1/5x speed or 4K time-lapse up to 60x speed.
• 3-Mic Noise Reduction: Minimizes internal noise for crisp audio.
• Register People Priority Mode: Ensures accurate detection and tracking of pre-registered individuals in crowded settings.

Enhanced Video Quality and Connectivity

Both cameras feature 10-bit Canon Log 3 for professional color grading, oversampled 4K video recording, and powerful autofocus with Dual Pixel CMOS AF II. With smooth skin mode, 14 creative filters, and an intuitive interface, creators can produce polished videos effortlessly.

Connectivity is seamless with UVC and UAC support for easy webcam functionality via USB-C, while the Live Switcher Mobile Multi-Camera app allows multi-angle livestreaming.

RF-S14-30mm f/4-6.3 IS STM PZ: A Game-Changing Lens

Canon’s first lens with built-in power zoom, the RF-S14-30mm f/4-6.3 IS STM PZ, is tailored for video creators. Lightweight and compact, it offers precise zoom control with customizable speeds and remote functionality via the Camera Connect app. With 5-axis image stabilization and a fixed-length design ideal for gimbal use, this lens is perfect for both handheld and professional setups.

Its 0.15m closest focusing distance and 0.38x maximum magnification are excellent for product showcases, while its wide-angle view ensures stunning video perspectives.
