Dedicated vlogging cameras are being squeezed by everything from smartphones to action cameras. This doesn’t seem to deter established camera brands like Canon from releasing them, and if the reception of the PowerShot V1 is anything to go by, people still seem to like them.
It’s been a while since I last played around with a Canon camera, and not surprisingly, it was another vlogging model, the PowerShot V10. I loved the feeling of handling a compact Canon, even though it was very different from the 6D I used to use. The PowerShot V1 has the same ‘compact Canon’ energy, yet feels more substantial than its predecessor.
