The Canon PowerShot V1 is an expert compact camera designed for content creators. It features a large 1.4in 22.3MP CMOS sensor, coupled with a stabilized 16-50mm equivalent F2.8-4.5 lens, giving detailed images and excellent low-light performance.

The Canon RF 50mm F1.4L VCM is the third lens in Canon’s series of compact, fast prime lenses. All share the same external dimensions, allowing them to be placed in the same rig or gimbal without having to move focus aids or rebalance. The lens is significantly smaller than its big sibling, the RF 50mm F1.2L USM, and 370 grams lighter. This makes it attractive to reportage and street photographers who want to save weight without losing optical quality. Videographers will appreciate the lens’s aperture ring which is switchable between smooth and clicked operation. Focus breathing is well controlled, too. The lens produces a soft and pleasing bokeh, which is desirable when shooting portraits.
Canon RF 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS USM Z:

Canon has complemented its unique RF 24-105mm F2.8L IS USM Z standard zoom with a telephoto zoom that has the same dimensions and can also be used with an external zoom motor drive. Both lenses are part of Canon’s new series of hybrid lenses that are adapted for both stills and video use. Sports and press photographers will appreciate the short zoom throw distance zoom ring that allows you to change focal length in a flash. Meanwhile, videographers will appreciate that it zooms easily and smoothly, and that the angle of view does not change when focusing. Even though its predecessor has an excellent optical design, Canon has managed to improve sharpness. Teleconverters can also be used for extra versatility and without any great loss of sharpness.
