Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great compact camera and quality of video. Amazing for getting selfies and travel considering the size of this camera.

Really great camera for beginners! Plus super small and travel size with really good quality.

I love the camera, it small like my hands which is beneficial to me and omg tge quality is just amazing!!

I bought this camera to film videos for my youtube channel. As someone who hates drawing attention to themselves in public its a great option. Small and has a bulit in stand is amazing feature of this camera. I can throw it in my purse and backpack while on my college campus or in public.

Easy to use. Create high quality videos with ease and the many features make video creation fun and easy.

i love it! its so compact and easy to use, great beginner vlog camera

This item is very good to use .I recommend to buy it.

Rated a 3 just because camera did not meet my needs as a shooter however this is a great vlogging camera to start with for people who are documenting their day to day and activities that dont require to much motion and movement. Pros: Compact easy to use. Uploading the videos was easy through the app. Takes great photos and video for simple documenting. Cons: with all the video stabilization in other cameras and Canon being an official brand I would have liked it to have better quality videos for action and movement shots. Overall if your exploring and want to capture shots and videos, starting to create content this is a good camera to start with. I prefer my DJI Pocket 2, just because the stabilization is alot better.

Great hand held camera, quality of video is great!

Great camera for vlogging. I wish it better options or features for pictures. I brought it to my trip to Colombia and the video captures were great. I couldn’t zoom in when taking pictures, but I was able to edit pictures

I’m so happy that i was able to purchase this camera. It’s always convenient to carry especially if i want to take video by myself.!

I love the camera I got. It was a great gift, my girlfriend and I always use it to capture moments of our son. I would recommend it to other if they want to use it for videos more so.

Great price but less features it delivers best 4k video output. Expect wide shots can’t deliver anything. Need to include 240FPS so it will be great for vloggers

SUMMARY: If your Vlogging requirements are simple, or you just want to learn what Vlogging is all about without spending a fortune, this could be the Vlogging camera for you. It is easy to carry, easy to use, and FUN. Look at the lens, press the big red button in front of you. Hello world! But, if your primary interest is in taking pictures, your cell phone is probably more versatile, and this is not the device for you. CAVEAT: The problem in the today’s photography market is that most customers are already carrying cameras, their cell phones. And cell phone cameras are only getting better. The marketed device needs to be better in at least some ways. Otherwise, why spend the money? That’s the assumption (and comparison) my review will take (is the V10 better in some ways than my iPhone 15 Pro Max, a high standard). PROS: - One Big Red Button to push to start and stop recording, very easy to use. - Love the rugged fold out stand, makes it easy to position the device on a flat surface. - Fits the hand very well, comfortable to use. Better than the current trend in ‘phablets.’ - Rugged construction. I worry less about dropping it. - Easy to hold close to one’s face so less obtrusive and easier for longer periods of time. - Not a huge number of options to go through and can be preset to just work the way you want it to work (as long as you are not too picky). So easy to use. - Charges by USB C. - It has a well-placed standard tripod screw insert that works well with gimbals too. - It has dual microphones that result in better audio quality than my phone, but really you do want to use the audio input for even better results (in both cases, but easier with the - It has a wide, wide-angle lens great for Vlogging that beats my phone. - The flip out screen is perfect for Vlogging, makes it easier to see yourself while looking at the lens, again better than my phone. - The screen is touch sensitive for the menu options. So is my phone, but not all cameras are like that. MATTER OF TASTE: - No lens cap. For some reason my thumb keeps finding the lens when I pick it up. You may be better at that. I am constantly cleaning the lens. - Micro HDMI port. Takes a special cable (not included) most of us don’t own to hook up to a HDMI monitor. I also find the micro HDMI port to be less tight in general. - 2 hour battery life (filming) is too short for me. Then it takes almost 2 hours to recharge. My phone lasts longer. But if you have a backup battery, or you don’t plan to use it free that long, may not be an issue for you. It is charged (or operated) via USB C. - No in-body image stabilization, any stabilization is digital and that eats up some of your resolution and does not work as well. Best used sitting on a flat surface (IMHO). - The menu options it does have can be confusing at first and almost require you study the online (and downloadable) manual. That’s the bad news, the good news, is it remembers the settings so really you can set them once and forget them and just push the big red button to start stop (as long as your requirements don’t change that much). - I do wish the flip out screen was just a bit bigger. I am not one of those anti-bezel people but yes seems to me the screen could be bigger with less bezels. Primarily because it is a touch screen and my adult fingers have a hard time with it. - Complicated (for me) wifi and phone usb connection. Could never get it to be easy. I find most cameras are like that though. I got around this by transferring my files to my computer the old-fashioned way, by the card. - The image quality is ok. CONS: - One lens. No Zoom. And it’s a very wide angle lens. That is fine for VLOGGING, even preferable (makes it possible to hold close), but you will want more versatility (and longer lens) for actual photographs (and likely your phone has more). - Doesn’t come with a memory card (micro SD). You need to buy one (boo hiss). MORE WORDS: Let’s be real, if my favorite aspect of a camera is not the pictures it takes, but the stand and how easy it is to use, then, you pretty much know all you need to know about what I think of its photographic prowess (or lack thereof). But maybe you aren’t looking for a great camera, because that would cost a lot more, or even a camera that is way better than your phone, but instead are looking for a simple to use, easy to hold, easy to charge, relatively inexpensive and FUN Vlogging camera. Maybe you know someone that is thinking of Vlogging but doesn’t know where to start and doesn’t want to make a huge investment before they do. Then this is the camera for you (or them). It is easier to hold than a phone, it is less obtrusive, and it will get the job done. In fact, I suspect Canon is betting this is a gateway drug, once you get hooked on Vlogging, you will trade up. Much higher up. The astute reviewer of my review will notice I spend little time on specifications, like records up to 4k at 30 fps (which it does) or supports JPG (check), or Raw files (nope). For one, specs are clearly stated by the manufacturer and this review is long enough, and for another, if you are a spec chaser, this probably isn’t the Vlogging camera for you. It’s for the person that doesn’t want to get bogged down in the details but just wants to know if it has the standard bases covered (it does.). But one spec worth mentioning that I couldn’t find in the literature is it apparently will only record for an hour at a time, at least that’s the file size I got before it shut itself off. But then you just start recording again. No clue why it has that artificial limit. Btw, not saying it’s not stated in the literature, because the online manual is huge (303 pages) and I have not read every page yet. Which brings me to my next point, I would imagine the target consumer is one that wants the simplicity. If you need a 303 page manual to dive in to that simplicity, how simple is it really? I am not being philosophical, I am sharing a frustration. Where I stumbled and never really recovered, is connecting V10 to my wifi or phone. It would connect for a while, but then need to be reset. Or maybe I just wasn’t doing something right. But this is where my phone wins hands down for me. To move many files or a big one, I resorted to just moving the micro card from the V10 to my computer. One particular confusion for me was for whatever reason, my iPhone could not focus on their in screen bar codes, so I resorted to having to type things in. When it asked me to connect to my phone via an App, I went to the App store and down loaded ‘image.canon.’ Which did very little for me even though Canon was in the name (turns out its more a library kind of App). It was only when I read the online manual, I found out the App I wanted was ‘camera connect.’ Then it sort of worked sometimes (for me). It also bears repeating, there is no optical image stabilization (but there is digital which is a poor substitute). You really do want image stabilization for those talking while you’re walking Vlogs. Otherwise it quickly becomes jerky. Hence the built in stand to suggest, chill, talk to the camera while sitting. Or get a relatively cheap gimble (DJI) that does a great job of stabilization. This suggests a use of the V10 that my phone absolutely cannot do alone. That is, set up a two-camera studio, using the V10 as the wide angle and the phone as a different angle. Voila. Fancy. Splice them in and out, perhaps with a product shot! To wrap up, where this shines over your phone for VLOGGING (to me) is the wide-angle lens that is set to face you, that can be held very easily in the proper position, that is easily set down to record, is cost effective, and I can get to recording faster. There are numerous caveats though (listed above) to help determine if this is the Vlogging camera you want to spend the money on considering the camera you probably already own and carry (phone). The overall picture quality is not better and I really don’t think this offers enough as a camera for photography these days (over your phone). I can see this being a great gift for someone new to Vlogging (or a child), but do be prepared to help them through the manual. BTW, I know this is a long review, I really wanted to love this device as I am into photography, as it is, I like it for a limited use so I went into depth. Kudos if you read it all!

I like this camera but the battery life is kinda short

Daughter loves it. It was intended for vlogging and I believe she has been using it regularly. It took a little reading up on to learn but simple enough to operate after using it a few times.

Nice camera the only problem is that it doesn’t have a flash.

Amazing product will definitely recommend if You’re looking for something small but works great

Bought this for my teenage daughter, it's perfect for her and she loves the selfie option on the camera. We've only had it for a short while, but so far it has been great.

Great exposure and for the price it’s a good option if you’re just looking for a starter camera to mess around with. However, I would recommend getting a wireless lavalier microphone because the built in microphone is not good in a semi noisy environment.
