Canon announces PowerShot V10 Type 1 vlogging compact camera. The new PowerShot V10, a 4K vlogging-focused compact camera built around a Type 1 (13.3 x 8.8mm) BSI CMOS sensor and a fixed 19mm-equivalent F2.8 lens.
The US price is $429 and it will be released in June, 2023. The new Canon PowerShot V10 is available for pre-order at B&H, Adorama.

Canon PowerShot V10 uses a 20MP Type 1 sensor but Canon reports a much lower number of ‘effective’ pixels, once distortion correction has been taken into account.
