PowerShot

Canon has announced the first product in its new PowerShot V series. The V10 4K vlogging camera is aimed squarely at mobile YouTube and TikTok creators looking to "level-up their creative content and step-up from using a smartphone."

Back in February, Canon turned to the Japanese crowd to fund production of an AI-powered photo/video camera that automatically captures scenes unfolding in front of it. Now the company has launched the device in Europe as the PowerShot PX.

Like it did with its carabiner-packing Ivy Rec outdoor camera, Canon has launched a crowdfunding campaign to fund production of a quirky handheld point-and-shoot camera called the PowerShot Zoom, though this time it's limited to Japan only.

Webcams have become somewhat hard to buy since the COVID-19 pandemic hit, but Canon has developed some software that could let you use your EOS or PowerShot camera to video chat with colleagues or loved ones.

With smartphone cameras improving all the time, spending money on compact cameras seems less and less attractive. Nevertheless, major players like Nikon and Canon are still releasing them, and the latter has just updated a couple of its G-series PowerShots with some interesting features.

​Canon has announced an upgrade to the now four year-old SX60 HS compact superzoom. Though the focal length remains unchanged, the image sensor and processor of the PowerShot SX70 HS have been updated, along with the electronic viewfinder and video recording capabilities.

​With a smartphone camera in just about every pocket, compact camera makers are having to rely on big zoom lenses and pixel-packed video prowess to convince consumers to buy dedicated snappers. Such is the case with Canon's upcoming PowerShot SX740 HS.

The third and latest G series compact camera from Canon is clearly designed to impress. The flagship PowerShot G1 X Mark III is the first of the company's point-and-shoot cameras to be treated to a 24 megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor and Dual Pixel CMOS autofocus.​

Canon has revealed two new PowerShot compact cameras. The premium G7 X Mark II boasts a large 1-inch-type sensor and improved speed thanks to Canon’s new Digic 7 image processor, while the SX720 HS puts a mega-zoom into a pocketable camera.

The Canon PowerShot G3 X is a relatively compact camera with a massive zoom and a big sensor. The shooter combines a 24-600-mm equivalent lens with a 20-megapixel one-inch-type CMOS sensor to offer a balance of versatility and quality in a compact form.

Canon has added five new PowerShot cameras to its 2015 line-up. Aimed at refreshing the entry-level end of the firm's compact camera offering, the new models include pocketable point-and-shoots, compact super-zooms and a bridge camera which boasts a massive 24-1200-mm equivalent lens.

Taking high-quality images with a pocket camera has always been a challenge, but technology is catching up. A case in point are the three newly revealed models in Canon’s PowerShot line, headlined by the 20.2-megapixel PowerShot G7 X.
