Newly Developed 22.3MP 1.4" CMOS Sensor
Canon has pushed compact camera sensor development even further with the newly designed 22.3MP 1.4" CMOS in the PowerShot V1. This sensor is approximately twice as large as at 1" sensors found in comparable models enabling the V1 to deliver imagery with greater detail, higher dynamic range, and improved low-light performance. This sensor also features Dual Pixel CMOS II for PowerShot which will quickly and accurately lock onto a range of subjects and has been enhanced with pupil detection.
