- General
- Brand: Canon
- Model Number: 5946C002
- Product Name: PowerShot V10 4K Video 20.9-Megapixel Digital Camera for Vloggers and Content Creators
- Color: Silver
- Camera Model Family: Canon PowerShot V10
- Digital Camera Type: Point and Shoot Cameras
- Imaging
- Image Sensor Type: CMOS (CCD and CMOS are the two main technologies used in image sensors. CCD, the older of the two types, turns analog light signals into digital pixels. This conversion happens without distortion, resulting in high-quality images. Newer CMOS sensors use transistors at each pixel to move electrical charges. CMOS sensors are typically less expensive, but also require more light to create distortion-free images.)
- Image Sensor Size: 1” (13.2 x 8.8 mm)
- Total Pixels: 20.9 megapixels (Generally, the more pixels, the higher the image resolution and the finer the detail that can be seen.)
- Zoom Capability: true (This function allows for magnification of the subject.)
- Digital Zoom: 3x (A digital zoom is accomplished electronically, with no adjustment of the camera's optics, and no optical resolution gained in the process. The existing data is not enhanced or added to, merely displayed at a lower resolution, thereby giving an illusion of an enlarged image.)
- In-Camera Image Stabilization: true (This feature helps reduce image blurring from camera motion. In-camera stabilization means the image sensor itself moves to counteract detected motion.)
- Image File Format(s): JPEG, MP4 (Standardized software format(s) of storing digital images. The type of format chosen for capturing and compressing the image can determine quality, level of detail, and storage space required.)
- Focus
- Autofocus: true (Allows the camera to automatically focus through the lens, rather than by adjusting the lens manually.)
- Eye Autofocus (Eye AF): false (Automatically seeks out and focuses on the subject's eye and holds it as the camera and subject move and as the photographer shoots at high frame rates.)
- Number of Autofocus Points (Up To): 31
- Exposure Control
- Shutter Speeds: Still Photo: 1/2000 -1/8 sec * Up to 1.0 sec depending on the scene. Movie Recording: 1/4000-1/25 sec. *Varies by mode and frame (The length of time the shutter remains open when the shutter release is activated, expressed in fractions of seconds. The longer the shutter is open, the more light that is able to be captured by the camera sensor.)
- Self Timer: true
- Self-Timer Delay: 2 seconds, 10 seconds, Continuous shooting
- White Balance Modes: (1) Auto (Ambience priority / White priority) (2) Daylight (3) Shade (4) Cloudy*1 (5) Tungsten light (6) White fluorescent light (7) Color temperature *1: Effective also in twilight and sunset. (Settings that calibrates how the color white is rendered in an image/video, reducing the appearance of unnatural contrasts caused by various light sources.)
- Effective Pixels: 15.2 megapixels (The actual number of pixels which make up the viewable image.)
- Lens
- In-Lens Image Stabilization: false (This feature helps reduce image blurring from camera motion. Lens stabilization means an element within the lens moves automatically to counteract detected motion.)

- Integrated Flash: false
- Display
- Display Type: TFT-LCD
- Screen Size: 2 inches (Size of the screen, measured diagonally from corner to corner.)
- Screen Resolution: approximately 460,000 Dots (Screens come in a range of resolutions (measured in pixels, horizontal x vertical). The higher the resolution, the greater the picture quality.)
- Viewfinder Type: Electronic (A viewfinder is the part of a camera (or attachment) that allows you to see and focus a scene in frame. Optical viewfinders let you view the scene directly through the lens. Electronic viewfinders display the image on a screen in its approximate final form.)
- Touch Screen: true (Touch-screen devices make navigating more intuitive. Using a touch-screen display, you can do things such as tap to select, hold and drag to move items, swipe to scroll, and pinch to zoom.)
- Varying Angle Screen: true (The camera's screen can be flipped out and adjusted to rotate, tilt, and/or swivel.)
- Video
- Standardized Video Resolution: 4K (2160p) (An approximated measurement of the product’s video resolution. This may not be the exact resolution of the product, which may be slightly more or less when using a pixel-by-pixel measurement.)
- Video Resolution(s) and Frame Rate(s): 4K (2160p) video recording at 30 fps (Refers to the number of pixels, both horizontally and vertically, and the frame rate used to capture the video. The higher the resolution the finer the video detail that can be seen. The faster the frame rate the smoother the playback for higher motion activities like sports.)
- Maximum Video Frame Rate: Up to 30 fps (The maximum frequency at which consecutive images can be captured by a video recording device.)
- HDR Mode: false (HDR Mode uses multiple photos taken at different exposures to add more dynamic range to photographs. HDR technology displays content with greater contrast between bright and dark, resulting in clearer and more lifelike images.)

The PowerShot V10 is a vlog and still camera in a new highly portable form factor with components from the popular G-Series line that lets you create impressive videos on-the-go. With stereo sound capture, a built-in stand, and easy live streaming, this cam is ready to go when you are. Don’t let its size fool you, this is a vlogging studio in a compact package that can be operated with one hand to let you express your story!
- 2" color touch-screen TFT LCD Tilt Display: The touch-screen has capacitive sensing allowing for tap based subject selection, touch shutter and menu selection.
- 20.9-megapixel (total): During movie recording (Full HD, 16:9) - approximately 13.1 effective megapixels. During still shooting you get approximately 15.2 effective megapixels.
- How do I look?: With the 1” CMOS sensor, like those used in the popular PowerShot G series cameras, you are going to look great, even in low light! The built-in subject detection helps to keep your face in focus and well-lit.
- Seeing the whole picture: We spent a lot of time perfecting the right lens for this camera. The 19mm (35mm equivalent) lens on the V10 is perfect for getting yourself and anyone else you want into the frame,
- Small, holdable, and pocketable: The small form factor of this camera makes it incredibly easy to hold and shoot video with. You really have to hold it in your hands to appreciate it.
- Easy to use: The thing that makes it really usable though is the simple menu systems, one button recording and that the camera powers up almost instantly, so it’s ready to go when you are.
- Stand right there: The PowerShot V10 comes with a built-in stand. This incredibly convenient feature allows you to place the camera almost anywhere to get the shots you need. It can lean the camera back or forward with 30 degrees of angle for both.
- Did you hear that?: Sound is just as crucial as video when vlogging, which is why we ’ve included two large stereo microphones to capture your voice clearly, and a third microphone to help cancel out unwanted sounds.
- Going sideways: By default the PowerShot V10 captures video horizontally, but that isn’t always what you need. Want to go vertical? No problem. Just turn the camera on its side and it will automatically change the aspect ratio to vertical.
- Filters: What is a vlog shoot without some filters? The PowerShot V10 has 14 color filters built-in so you can change the mood and ambiance to fit the scene. There is also one extra filter that is kind of special.
- It's a still camera too!: When you need to capture behind the scenes images, don’t forget that you have a fully functional still camera in your hand. The high-sensitivity 15.2-megapixel, 1-inch CMOS sensor captures some great images with Auto Photo mode (equivalent to A+ Scene Intelligent Auto).
- Stream baby stream: The PowerShot V10 has a free companion app – Canon Camera Connect – that lets you communicate with a compatible smartphone via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. Using the app, you can transfer images and videos to share on social media, as well as control the camera remotely and livestream.
- UVC Support: The PowerShot V10 has UVC (USB Video Class) support built-in, so it can work with any device that supports the UVC standard and can even act as web camera without the need for any additional drivers.
- HDMI Out: Sometimes you just want to share on the big screen right away, and you can! The PowerShot V10 has a n HDMI micro output port for just such an occasion.

Canon V10 Review Pros & Cons
Pros: ✅ Compact and Lightweight – Super easy to carry anywhere, perfect for vlogging on the go. ✅ User-Friendly – Very simple controls make it beginner-friendly. ✅ Built-in Stand – No need for an extra tripod for quick setups. ✅ Comfortable Grip – Feels secure and easy to hold for longer shoots. ✅ Excellent Quality – Crisp, vibrant videos and clear photos that look professional. Cons: ❌ No Zoom – Fixed lens means you have to move physically closer or farther from your subject. ❌ No Flash – Not ideal for low-light photography without extra lighting. Overall: If you want a portable, easy-to-use camera with great image quality, the Canon V10 is a fantastic choice, especially for vloggers or content creators who mostly shoot in good lighting. Just keep in mind you’ll need extra lighting for darker environments and can’t zoom in on subjects.

I love my little camera
I’ve been wanting a digital camera for a while now to take photos, vlog, and share my crafts. I did not want a traditional camera but I went in the store just to be sure and was still convinced that I wanted the V10. It’s so compact and it’s able to take great pictures and videos without taking up too much space in my bag and there wasn’t much of a learning curve. I just use the settings and I can plug it into my computer to transfer files. It may not be as high tech for some needs, but it’s perfect for me.
