The Canon Powershot V10 is a new and true vlogging camera concept – fitting in the palm of your hand and with a built-in stand, plus a 1in sensor and fixed 18mm lens
Vlogging cameras have boomed in recent years, with Sony pushing the concept, and the likes of Panasonic and Nikon throwing their hats into the ring. Now Canon has entered the market with a totally different offering, the Canon Powershot V10.
It’s packing what is essentially the same 1-inch sensor as in the Canon Powershot G7 X III from 2019, with 4K/30p and Full HD 60p video recording, plus 20MP JPEG images. But that’s where the similarities end – as indeed do comparisons with most ‘regular’ cameras. What we have here is a unique design concept that will polarize opinion, but one that is unashamedly a vlogging camera.
Having had some brief hands-on time with the Canon Powershot V10, I’ve found there’s a lot that makes sense in terms of how it operates. It’s a stripped-back and simple experience – this is a camera that’s meant to be ready at the push of a button to make vlog content. Let’s unpack the highlights of the cutesy V10.Price and availability
The Canon Powershot V10 is available from June 2023, priced at $399 / £429 / AU$699 for the vlogging kit which includes a rubber lens cap made by SmallRig, and magnetic windshields for the stereo mics on the top of the camera.
