Well…
The PowerShot G7X Mk3 has been unobtainium for a while (over a year) as my G7X MkII has been malfunctioning/breaking down, and I couldn’t replace it unless I got a Sony.
There was rumors, and they are true. Canon unveiled the PowerShot V1. This video-first camera is their answer to the Sony ZV-1, the “vlogging” camera. One big caveat: you can only get it in major Asian markets, in April 2025.
A few bits: the sensor is roughly the size of a m4/3 sensor, but in 3:2 aspect ratio, which is larger than on the G7X, it has IS, audio jack for input and output, articulated screen, 4K, and a 16-50mm equivalent.
From the picture it looks more bulky, with a bigger grip than the G7X.
To be determined is the price, and the availability in Canada (and the rest of the world).
For reference the G7X MkIII has a MSRP of CA$1069.00, and the MarkII was about CA$100 less, the Fujfilm X-M5 with the kit lens is CA$1199.00, and the Sony Z-V1 II is CA$999.00
To be continued.
Update: The price would be JP¥148500 which is about CA$1400 (incl. 10% VAT)
