Just yesterday, Canon made it known that it is shifting its attention back to compact, fixed-lens cameras, such as the PowerShot G7 X III, to keep up with well-liked models like the Sony ZV-1 and RX100 V (curr. $999.99 at Best Buy). By doing this, Canon is basically saying it will ramp up production, but fresh rumors suggest that the company is also hinting at introducing more models within the compact PowerShot series.
Expansion of the PowerShot Line-Up
Rumors circulating from CanonRumors indicate that Canon plans to expand and update its PowerShot V series, which debuted the interesting yet budget-friendly $429.99 PowerShot V10 vlogging camera last year. This update is expected to bring forth a new video-centric compact camera that sports a more traditional design.
Changes on the Horizon
It is said that this launch will happen after the discontinuation of the current PowerShot G7 X III and PowerShot SX70 HS in the first half of 2025. The new model, named the PowerShot V1, is thought to be a top-tier compact camera, following Canon’s usual naming conventions.
Upcoming Releases
Besides this, CanonRumors has also mentioned a potential launch date towards the end of Q1 2025, along with rumored specifications for the new video camera. Moreover, there’s another compact APS-C camera in the works, expected to arrive around mid-2025, which aims to compete with options like the Nikon Z fc (curr. $956.65 on Amazon), Fujifilm X100VI, and the forthcoming OM-3 from OM System.
