Canon Unveils Pricing for New V Series Cameras
EOS R50 V and PowerShot V1
Built for Next-Gen Video Creators
The latest V Series are packed with cutting-edge video features, empowering creators to produce high-quality content.
Canon, a global leader in digital imaging technology, is expanding its V series lineup to meet the growing demand for video content creation among new creators. The company has unveiled 2 new cameras — the EOS R50 V and PowerShot V1, designed with cutting-edge features to enhance video production. During the launch event, the company, led by President and CEO Mr. Hiroshi Yokota, welcomed 2 well-known influencers — Kantapat 'Golf' Phutthamkul, creator of the ‘Golfwashere' Facebook page, and Ploypailin 'Ploy' Thangprabhaporn, creator of the ‘Pigkaploy’ Facebook page—to share their first-hand experiences with the V series. Their insights aim to inspire and support content creators seeking a high-quality, compact, and durable video camera that's ideal for solo production while delivering professional-level image and audio quality.
“As video content creation continues to grow among the new generation of creators, we aim to empower their creativity with the new PowerShot V Series and EOS V Series cameras. These cameras are designed to deliver high-quality video with stunning images and rich sound—helping creators bring their visions to life,” said Mr. Hiroshi Yokota, President and CEO, Canon Marketing (Thailand) Co., Ltd.
EOS R50 V, which is an interchangeable lens camera, features a 24.2-megapixel APS-C sensor similar to the Super 35mm sensor used in cinema cameras such as the EOS C70. It is designed for aspiring creators who desire better operability and video production versatility.
As for the PowerShot V1, Canon’s first video-centric all-in-one compact camera, it possesses a 22.3-megapixel 1.4-inch type sensor that is approximately twice the size of 1-inch-type sensors found in most compact cameras. The K497 is equipped with an integrated zoom lens that offers a versatile 17-52mm equivalent field of view during video recording, and 16-50mm equivalent for stills shooting.
Video-Centric Ergonomics
Both the EOS R50 V and PowerShot V1 are designed with lightweight, streamlined viewfinder-less bodies that are easily supported by grips and gimbals. As such, user fatigue is reduced during long durations of handheld shooting. Additionally, key buttons are designed for easy one-handed recording.
The EOS R50 V’s new video-centric button and control layout includes a movie-focused mode dial, dedicated buttons providing one-touch access to livestreaming and the colour modes, and a zoom lever for controlling the zoom on lenses. This zoom function can also be found on the new RF-S14-30mm f/4-6.3 IS STM PZ, Canon’s first lens with a built-in power zoom. It is also more optimised for vertical shooting as compared to any of its predecessors, with a vertical shooting tripod socket on the side, an auto-rotating shooting information display, a grip design and button layout. These allow users to easily start and stop recording even while recording vertically.
For the slim and portable PowerShot V1, there is a f/2.8 to f/4.5 ultra-wide angle zoom with a versatile 16-50mm equivalent focal range. This makes it ideal for diverse uses like vlogging, livestreaming, reels, or even short-form drama or documentary. It has an internal cooling fan, also found in professional cinema cameras, which disperses internal heat and allows longer periods of livestreaming and recording.
Rich Creative Features
The EOS R50 V and PowerShot V1 both have plenty of features to make producing beautiful videos easy like the Smooth Skin mode and 14 colour filters. These enable users to easily transform the look of their videos straight out of the camera. Additionally, the powerful Dual Pixel CMOS AF II autofocus system, useful Movie for Close-up Demos mode, and Movie Digital IS, will optimise focusing and image stabilisation allowing users to focus on content creation.
Both cameras are equipped with recording modes to meet more advanced post-production needs like 10-bit Canon Log 3. This records a wider dynamic range suitable for colour grading, uncropped high-quality oversampled 4K 30p videos and cropped 4K 60p videos; as well as slow motion up to Full HD 100p/120p. In addition, these two products come with still shooting modes and features including traditional PASM modes and support for RAW image shooting.
Enhanced Connectivity
Besides connecting to the Camera Connect smartphone app via Bluetooth/ USB-C, both cameras can be used as a webcam for livestreaming with a single USB-C connection to a PC.
EOS R50 V: Powerful Professional Features
The K516 is the first camera in its class to include several Cinema EOS features that advanced EOS R Series cameras like the EOS R1 possess. These consist of support for Custom Pictures and LUTs, two industry-standard HDR video recording modes (HDR PQ and HLG), usage of the XF-HEVC S / XF-AVC S recording formats, and professional display aids such as false colours.
There is a new Slow & Fast Motion movies mode, which is an intuitive way to create Full HD and 4K slow motion movies that slow time down by up to 1/5x and 1/2.5x speed respectively, as well as produce 4K time lapse videos that speed up motion by up to 60x.
When combined with colour filters and the camera’s new Cinema View feature, which sets cinematic angles of view and frame rates, users can create stunning, expressive film-like movies. Full HD 100p/120p recording with audio is also available to expand slow motion post-processing possibilities.
In terms of audio, the EOS R50 V is equipped with 3-mic noise reduction technology that detects and reduces unwanted noise from inside the camera. Support for LPCM 24-bit 4-channel audio input eases the post-processing workflow for projects with multiple audio sources such as interviews, outdoor takes with dialogue, and concerts.
Users shooting stills and video in crowded scenes such as events, concerts, and sports will benefit from the Register People Priority mode. Usually, found in more advanced camera models, the mode prioritises pre-registered individuals for detection and tracking.
Support for UVC and UAC 4K 60p livestreaming through a single USB-C cable to a PC makes it possible for users to live cast concerts and sporting events. This ensures smoother action and footage in vivid detail, making it ideal for viewing on a large home theatre screen. The EOS R50 V is compatible with the Live Switcher
Mobile Multi-Camera app, allowing users to combine video streaming from the camera with those from other smart devices for multi-angle livestreaming.
PowerShot V1: High-Quality Content in a Portable Package
The PowerShot V1combines the video-centric concept of the PowerShot V10 with the versatility of the PowerShot G7 X Mark III—updated with a major boost in core features. Creators can now shoot higher-quality images and enjoy better low light capabilities with the new compact camera. PowerShot V1is equipped with a larger 1.4-inch type image sensor, powerful Dual Pixel CMOS AF II for PowerShot, and a built-in 3-stop ND filter useful for recording video in bright conditions.
For video shooting, the PowerShot V1 has a native ISO range of up to 12,800, making it 2 stops wider than the PowerShot G7 X Mark III. Additionally, there is a unique new Subject Tracking IS function that utilises the subject position to keep the subject stable in the frame during image stabilisation.
