Like most people, I use my smartphone for everything: doomscrolling on social media, spamming my friends with photos of my family dog, and filling up its storage with photos and videos from concerts or taken on my daily walks. Smartphone photography has come a long way, and I always say the best camera is the one in your hands.
Naturally, it will take a lot of convincing to make someone ditch their smartphone for photography, videography and vlogging. I’ve tested many cameras that come close, but I believe it’s the Canon PowerShot V1 that gives compelling reasons to forego my Google Pixel 7 Pro.
