If you’ve ever balanced your phone on a stack of books for a GRWM video or recorded a vlog while nervously checking if you’re still in frame, Canon’s new lineup might just change your life, or at least your content.
Canon Philippines has officially launched the EOS / PowerShot V Series: a new family of cameras tailor-made for the modern-day content creator. The stars of the show? The EOS R50 V, the PowerShot V1, and the already-released PowerShot V10, all designed with the TikTok generation in mind, but with tools pro enough for even seasoned storytellers.
From smartphones to cinematic shots
Most creators in the Philippines still rely on their phones to film everything from food reviews to livestreams. And while phone cameras have come a long way, there’s a limit to how far you can push smartphone video especially if you’re craving that cinematic touch or need better audio on the go.
Canon sees this shift and raises it with an answer: dedicated video-focused gear that bridges the ease of a smartphone with the polish of professional-grade equipment.
What’s in the V Series?
- Canon EOS R50 V – Think of this as your DSLR’s cooler, video-savvy cousin. It packs a 24.2MP APS-C sensor (aka the same size used in many cinema cameras), 4K 60p livestreaming, a mic system with three-mic noise reduction, and no viewfinder to keep it light and handheld-friendly. It also supports vertical video and gimbal use, a dream setup for vloggers, TikTokers, and short-form storytellers. Pair it with Canon’s new RF-S14-30mm power zoom lens and you get silky zoom control with 15 speed options.
- Canon PowerShot V1 – Canon’s first compact camera made specifically for video. It has a large 1.4-inch sensor (bigger than most compacts), built-in 16–50mm zoom, subject tracking, ND filter, and an internal cooling fan that allows for marathon 6-hour recording sessions. Podcast taping? Livestreaming? Long-form filming? All set.
- Both cameras support 10-bit Canon Log 3 for serious color grading—perfect for creators stepping up their post-prod game.
And yes, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and direct PC streaming are all baked in. Because what’s a great video if it’s stuck on your SD card?
A Creator-First launch experience
Canon didn’t just talk the talk. They let creators walk the walk at the launch event in Midnight Dream Studios, Glorietta 1. Over 100 media personalities and creators, including Farrah Espina, Liana of Art and Plan Studio, Karl Patacsil, Jo Escultura, and Gab Altonaga, got to test the cameras in real-life content zones: from livestream setups and unboxings to GRWM corners and editing booths.
Canon’s Take: Tools for the next-gen storyteller
“Filipino creators have a strong enthusiasm for capturing life’s moments and producing engaging video content,” said Jian Liu, Canon Philippines Director for Consumer Information and Imaging. “With the EOS R50 V and PowerShot V1, they can enjoy a blend of portability, intuitive controls, and high-end performance. Whether they’re vlogging, livestreaming, or making short films, Filipinos can now tell their stories more powerfully, thanks to the reliability and innovation Canon is known for.”
