Images and specs of the Canon ZV-123 – the first of what the company hopes to be the best instant cameras – have been leaked, following the successful certification process by the Bureau Veritas agency.
The leak comes from the ever-reliable Japanese leak site Nokishita (by way of Mirrorless Rumors) and supports the earlier report of Canon's new instant cameras to challenge Fujifilm's instax dominance.
The ZV-123 is the "3879C00X: IVY 2in1 instant camera" listed in that report, coming in four colors: gold, white, blue and red. It has a super slim profile, possesses a mirrored lens screen for perfect posing, and uses Canon's Ivy and Zink printing technology.

There is no information on the second camera listed in the previous report, the "3884C00X: IVY instant camera". While the Canon ZV-123 bears the description "IVY 2in1 instant camera", the second model lacks the 2in1 description – it is possible that this means there is no microSD card support, making it a true print-only instant camera.
