Canon Rumored To Announce The PowerShot V3 In 2025

A fresh new Canon rumor from a relentless rumor mill. Is a PowerShot V3 coming?

Canon has taken an unusual approach to launching its latest camera, the PowerShot V1, by introducing it first in Asian markets. While the global debut is slated for March, with availability expected in April, Canon has already provided select U.S. retailers with an early preview. Though the reasoning behind this staggered rollout remains unclear, speculation abounds.

Looking further ahead, Canon is preparing to unveil another addition to the PowerShot series—the PowerShot V3—anticipated in the latter half of 2025. Positioned as the lineup’s dedicated superzoom model, it won’t follow in the footsteps of Nikon’s P1100, which features an extreme 3000mm lens paired with a small sensor.

While official specifications remain under wraps, insiders suggest the PowerShot V3 will house the same 1.4-inch sensor as the PowerShot V1. This sensor is rumored to be derived from the 32MP sensor found in Canon’s EOS R7. The camera will reportedly feature a 20x zoom lens, likely offering a 24mm-480mm (35mm equivalent) focal range. This setup should deliver a balanced mix of versatility and image quality—unlike the overly ambitious, low-quality zooms seen in Nikon’s P1xxx series.

With this upcoming release, Canon aims to refine the superzoom category while maintaining better optical integrity, ensuring that photographers get both reach and quality in a single package.
