43Addict shared a rumor that Canon would be joining the m43 alliance with a new compact point-and-shoot camera the Canon PowerShot V1. I think it is more likely that Canon would use a 1-inch sensor or even an APS-C senor, but we will see when Q2 2025 rolls around. The image shared in the post is AI-generated. The rumored specifications are below:
- 24MP CMOS Sensor (approx)
- 16-50mm (35mm Equivalent)
- 3″ Screen (Approx 1 million pixels)
- The screen has a 170° viewing angle
- 4K Video (Very slight crop, but likely for aspect ratio)
- 1.4X Crop Mode for Stills
- RAW, C-RAW, Dual Pixel RAW
- H.265 / HEVC
- C-Log3 / HDR PQ
- Launch: Late Q1/Early Q2 2025
