The smartphone camera was supposed to be a death sentence for the point-and-shoot, but in 2025, the most in-demand cameras are the ones that fit into pockets. Rising demand met with reduced supply has raised the cost of compact cameras and made many models hard to find. Case in point: all of Canon’s point-and-shoot cameras are currently out of stock in several markets.
Canon Japan has issued a notice that the PowerShot V1, along with the G7 X Mark III and SX740 HS are all experiencing delays. While the company made a similar announcement earlier this year, Canon Japan now says that the V1 “will take a long time for delivery,” while orders for the other two compacts have now been suspended.
