The pocket-sized V1 camera squeezes a ton of tech in a small package, including Canon's best autofocus and active cooling for long-form video recording. But there's no US launch date yet.

Canon has announced a new point-and-shoot compact camera called the PowerShot V1 designed to appeal more to video content creators.

Canon has announced the PowerShot V1 large-sensor vlogging compact, but has yet to announce plans for the model outside Asia.

Canon's latest PowerShot is primarily a vlogging compact camera, and on paper it looks like a Sony ZV-1 II -beating rival. It features a 16-50mm F2.8-4.5 lens and new stabilized 22.3MP sensor that's essentially the same size as Micro Four Thirds, save for its narrower 3:2 aspect ratio.
