Canon PowerShot V1– C-Log 3, Built-In ND & Cooling Fan

[zerocool22]

this is a pretty cool pocket camera. I never expected canon to come out with a camera specced out so good. Built in Nd Filters, cooling fan, canon log 3.. Makes me wonder why they didnt include built-in ND's into camera like the S5II, A7SIII and so on. And now all of a sudden a pocket camera has it. 

Some of the key features of the PowerShot V1 include:

1.4″ CMOS sensor

Ultra-wide angle 16-50mm zoom lens

4K 60P recording

Canon Log 3

Built-In Cooling Fan

Built-in ND Filter (3-stops)

30fps stills performance (electronic shutter)

I've owned at least two 'pocket' cameras with a built-in ND - the Pana LX7 and the ZV-1.

I suspect they have them because making an iris that closes to e.g. F22 on a small lens/sensor is probably quite difficult (and they don't have filter threads to add an ND), so to maintain 180 degree shutter angle for video in very bright conditions means an internal ND is fairly essential.
