Canon PowerShot V10 Review
Introduction
The new Canon PowerShot V10 is an affordable compact camera that has been specifically designed for vlogging.
This lightweight camera has a unique vertical design that make it small enough to fit in a pocket, yet still features a handy built-in stand that can be tilted up to 30 degrees forwards and backwards.
It pairs a 1.0-type 20.1 megapixel stacked CMOS sensor, as used in 2019's PowerShot G7 X Mark III camera, with a fixed wide-angle lens that provides a focal length of 18mm for stills and 19mm for video and a maximum aperture of f2.8.
Canon have pulled out all the stops to make this camera especially appealing to vloggers, including 4K/30p recording for up to 1 hour with no crop plus 1080/60p Full HD, in-camera digital image stabilisation, 14 colour filters for grading, simplified live streaming, 9:16 vertical movies, and the inclusion of built-in stereo mics and micro HDMI and 3.5mm microphone ports.
There's also contrast-detect Face-tracking AF, a physical built-in three stop ND filter, a 2-inch LCD screen that tilts up by 180 degrees, wi-fi and Bluetooth connectivity, charging via USB-C, Canon Camera Connect app compatibility, and seamless use as a webcam via UVC/UAC.
The Canon PowerShot V10 is available in two kits. The standard Essential kit includes a power cable, soft case, lens cap, windshield and wrist strap for £429.99 / $429.99 in the UK and US respectively.
The Advanced kit, designed in collaboration with SmallRig, additionally includes a cage which can be used to attach a ring light or hold an external microphone and is priced at £459.99 in the UK.
The Canon V10 is designed and made in Japan and was initially launched in May 2023.
Ease of Use
The PowerShot V10 is unashamedly a camera that has been designed to record high-quality video, and more specifically videos that include you.
Whilst you can shoot 20 megapixel stills with the V10, there are very few menu options available, no Raw support and the small 2-inch LCD panel makes composition more difficult than an camera with a larger screen.
The shooting mode for stills is equivalent to the camera-sets-everything Scene Intelligent Auto mode on other Canon models, with Canon themselves billing it as a great way to take thumbnail images for your movies.
The Canon PowerShot is capable of 4K movie recording with no crop, so you capture the same angle of view in 4K and 1080p modes. The 4K video quality is shot at 3840x21600 pixels at 30/25fps, and there's also 1080p recording available at 1920x1080 pixels at 60/50/30/25fps, depending on the region setting.
The V10 is drastically different to any Canon compact camera that we've used before, or indeed any other compact camera full stop.
With its vertical design, it more closely resembles a GoPro or other action camera. Unlike most action cameras, though, the Canon V10 isn't weather-proof in any way, so make sure not to use it in inclement conditions without some form of protection.
Measuring 63.4x90.0x34.3 mm, the new PowerShot V10 is much smaller than the G7 X III, and at just 211g it weighs a whopping 93g less than the most comparable model in Canon's current range.
Rather unintutively, at least initially, holding the camera vertically records traditional horizontal videos, whilst turning the camera through 90 degrees enables it to record vertical videos for social media platforms like TikTok.
Once you've got your head around that, it becomes second-nature to operate the PowerShot V10 almost entirely one-handed, both when filming yourselves or the scene in front of you.
There's a very large, indented red record button on the front of the camera underneath the fixed lens that's almost impossible to miss, regardless of whether you're operating it in selfie mode or not.
The 18/19mm lens offers a very wide-angle view that can easily capture groups of people in the frame, and it also proves to be very accommodating when you turn on the digital stabilisation.
This very effectively helps to remove any wobble from your video when you use the V10 whilst walking, for example, but it does so by slightly cropping into the frame - the 19mm lens is wide enough to allow the resulting footage to not look too tightly cropped.
Instead of more traditional picture profiles or Log profiles, the V10 offers 14 different colour filters and a Color Tone option that you can use to apply some form of grading to your footage.
The rear of the diminutive V10 is dominated by the 2-inch LCD screen with 460k-dot resolution that's hinged at the top to allow it to flip up through 180-degrees for selfies operation.
It is admittedly a very small screen by modern standards, with the traditional 3:2 aspect ratio making the 16:9 video look even smaller as black bars appear top and bottom.
The screen is best used as a way to ensure that the composition is correct and everyone or everything is in the frame, rather than relying on it to judge absolute sharpness.
Underneath the LCD is a series of familiar buttons for turning the camera on, playing back and deleting images, accessing the self-timer, cycling through the various Info display modes, opening the Quick and Main menus, and a button that either toggles between the stills and video modes or accesses the various connect options.
In the middle of the scroll wheel is the Q/Set button that is consistent with other Canon G-series models. Press this button when in any of the capture modes and left/right toolbars that will be familiar to Canon users appear on the screen, offering a toolbar at the bottom with further options when you come to rest on a particular setting.
On the bottom of the Canon V10 is a MicroSD card slot protected by a hard plastic cover and a traditional tripod socket.
Given that the V10 has a unique and very well-implemented built-in fold-out stand, though, we can't see many people using a tripod with this camera. It's much quicker and a lot more convenient to angle the V10 up or down using its stand - simply flip up the LCD screen and pull out the stand to either its rear- or forwards-facing position.
It's a genuinely great piece of well-thought-out design that immediately elevates the V10 above its main vlogging rivals, and may be reason enough alone for some people to buy this camera rather than a Sony or other brand.
On the left-hand flank is a USB-C port which you can use for charging the PowerShot V10 out in the field using a power bank, outlet, or computer whilst shooting.
This port is also used for or employing the camera as a webcam via UVC/UAC - simply connect it to a computer and the V10 will be instantly recognised, rather than having to rely on having an app installed.
On the right-hand side are the micro HDMI and 3.5mm microphone inputs, the latter enabling you to supplement the V10's good quality built-in stereo microphones with an external mic. A pair of wind mufflers are included in the kit which prove very handy for outdoor shooting.
The V10 uses a non-removable, built-in lithium-ion battery that provides an approximate life-span of 290 stills, 55 minutes of 4K recording, or 1 hour 20 minutes of Full HD recording, which is comparable to the PowerShot G7 X Mark III.
One important physical feature that is hidden from view is the 3-stop ND filter, which helps make it possible to shoot video at sensible shutter speeds in brighter lighting conditions. Best of all, there's an Auto mode as well as On and Off, so you don't even have to think or know about when it might be best to apply it.
The Canon V10 offers 5 different shooting modes - Stills, Auto Movie, Smooth Skin Movie, Movie IS Mode and Manual Exposure Movie. Rather strangely the Digital Image Stabilisation is turned off in the Auto Movie, which is perhaps the mode that most requires it - you can turn it on in the menu.
There are three Digital Image Stabilisation modes - Off, On and Enhanced, with the latter providing the most effective stabilisation at the cost of a more aggressive crop. If you're moving the camera whilst filming then we'd strongly recommend using this setting if possible, or just use the Movie IS Mode which turns it on by default.
Manual Exposure Movie is the only mode that lets you set the shutter speed and aperture, plus exposure compensation and ISO speed. Note that again Digital Image Stabilisation is turned off by default in this mode. In the Smooth Skin Movie mode, for reasons unknown to us Digital Image Stabilisation is completely disabled.
The sensor inside the Canon V10 only supports contrast-based AF and not phase-detection AF, which in laymans terms means that it has a tendency to lose focus on the main subject and briefly focus on the background before focusing on the main subject, commonly referred to as "fluttering". It's a subtle but rather annoying phenomenon that cameras with phase-detection AF tend not to suffer from.
Other key video features include a live streaming function that supports YouTube (although you need to connect the camera to a Wi-Fi network or smartphone to enable this feature), 9:16 vertical movie support for Instagram, a clean HDMI output and the very welcome inclusion of a 3.5mm microphone input.
The free Canon Camera Connect app (available for Android and iOS) lets you wirelessly transfer images to a smartphone, tablet or computer, remotely control the camera with your phone, access the Live Streaming function, and add GPS data to your images (when connected via Bluetooth).

Conclusion
With a laser-sharp clear focus on its vlogging target market, the innovative Canon PowerShot V10 delivers almost everything that an aspiring film-maker on a budget requires.
Rather than producing a hybrid camera designed to appeal to stills-shooters and movie-makers alike, the new V10 instead focuses entirely on producing high-quality video with the minimum of fuss.
From its unusual but highly effective one-handed vertical design to the 19mm wide-angle lens, clever built-in kick-stand, stereo mics and 3-stop ND filter, it's very clear that the Canon have carefully crafted the V10 from the ground-up to suit vloggers and vloggers only.
And with a price-tag of around £$429 for the essentials kit, the V10 is certainly affordable enough to tempt people away from their smartphones to what will prove to be a more capable device for most users.
It's not all a bed of roses, though, with the non-removable battery with its equally annoying short life-span being a particular bug-bear - you'll need to carry a powerbank with you for extended outdoor shooting sessions.
Also the contrast-detect auto-focus system that has been directly carried over from 2019's PowerShot G7 X Mark III camera is prone to fluttering, although its certainly no worse than the Sony ZV-1F, which is this camera's main rival.
Overall, though, the PowerShot V10 is a brave re-think of what a vlogger actually needs, with its genius design backed up by Canon's usual high standards when it comes to image quality. If you've outgrown your smartphone and want a device that's dedicated to vlogging, the Canon PowerShot V10 should certainly be on your short-list.

Review Roundup
Reviews of the Canon PowerShot V10 from around the web.
cameralabs.com »
The PowerShot V10 becomes Canon’s best dedicated vlogging camera to date, taking the quality of the G7X III, but crucially repackaging it into a body designed for filming first. I was happy to trade the zoom for a wider fixed lens, with the broader coverage making it perfect for handheld vlogging or maker demonstrations.

It’s fair to say that the new Canon PowerShot V10 is quite unlike any other camera we’ve seen, and not just from Canon, but any other maker. Unlike all the previous models in the firm’s PowerShot range of compact cameras, it’s not designed for capturing still photographs. Instead this is a vlogging camera, which Canon says is designed to be an easy-to-use, all-in-one solution to videoing yourself, and uploading or live streaming to social media.

For its first vlogging camera, the PowerShot V10 ($429.99), Canon chooses to color outside the lines rather than reuse an existing camera frame like rival Sony did with the ZV-1F ($499.99). The result is a pocket vlogging camera that's comfortable to use handheld, includes a kickstand for tabletop recordings, and captures clear stereo audio. A non-removable battery with limited runtime and a so-so autofocus system somewhat reduce its appeal, but creators who want a dedicated camera for video work should still check it out.
