Canon has always been a name that is associated with photo quality products. The powershot V10 and is 4k 20.9 Megapixel Blogging Camera.
The good about this camera is that it is very easy to setup and get going right out of the box. The quality is immediate when you touch it. Just feels very solid and like it’s made from quality materials.
For someone on the go who wants to capture studio quality sounds and images- this device is it. I have a setup that cost thousands of dollars and this replaces those in home stand up shots when you pair it with a stand. I enjoyed that aspect. The vertical imaging was nice as it’s a form style I prefer. You can also use the built in stand that can lean back 30 degrees. I did find that awkward as level height was hard so I just used a tripod.
Additionally the menu system is very intuitive once I understood what I needed to press. The simplest aspect was the one button touch to start filming and recording.
With these types of devices we are often faced with how to get the recording off of it? Well they have a cable included which plugs directly into the device and into computer. The downside here was I noticed transfer speeds were slow and realized it was a USB2.0 cable. I tested the UVC / USB Video Class which is built-in and worked flawless. Additionally you can upload to other media sites.
Live streaming was really smooth but the quality was something left me longing. The image quality has some issues at times with a washed looked with lots movements I noticed. The camera does come with 14 filters for the image to enhance things.
My final take away on this , with the ability to load the camera with a microsd card I can take long videos. To edit them in a format I like which other personal devices this camera was seamless for me. If you want something simple and easy to get you streaming and Vlogging- pick this device up the quality is there and you won’t be disappointed.

The Canon PowerShot V10 is an awesome compact camera that I've thoroughly enjoyed using. The image quality is superb, delivering sharp and vibrant photos in various conditions. The compact design makes it easy to carry around, fitting into pockets or small bags effortlessly. Navigating through the menus is intuitive, making it user-friendly for photographers of all levels.
The build quality is what you would expect from canon, it's solid and feels great in your hand. The built-in stand is very useful but if leaning the camera forward too much it tips over. I do with it came with a mini tripod to allow for different angles without fear that it will tip over- small criticism.
One standout feature is the zoom range, allowing me to capture a wide range of subjects with ease. The intelligent image stabilization makes all my video and pics consistently clear, even when shooting in less-than-ideal situations. The battery life is impressive, providing ample time for a day of shooting without worrying about running out of power.
It's not a professional-grade camera but the PowerShot V10 is perfect for all my everyday use and travel. It strikes a great balance between performance and convenience, making it an excellent choice for anyone looking for a reliable and compact camera to self record while capturing the beautiful surroundings with one hand operation.

Simple to use, compact and lightweight, the Canon PowerShot V10 makes it super portable and easy to carry around. I can take it anywhere and capture my adventures effortlessly. The camera's user-friendly interface and intuitive controls make it a great choice for beginners too.
Setup was very easy, especially for those that are already familiar with Canon. The camera did not come with a micro-SD, so I had to run back to Best Buy and buy one. Just a little inconvenience in my opinion.
The flip screen is a game changer. It gives the flexibility to frame myself perfectly and ensures I am always in focus. No more awkward angles or missed shots. Plus, the touch screen makes navigating through the camera's settings a breeze.
I love the vertical and horizontal video support, which makes filming for Instagram Reels, Shorts and TikTok super easy and convenient.
One of the standout features of the Canon PowerShot V10 for me is its built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity. This means I can easily transfer photos and videos to my iPhone or iPad, allowing for quick editing and sharing on social media platforms. Again, it is very easy and convenient!
Overall, the Canon PowerShot V10 4K Video 20.9-Megapixel Digital Camera is a good choice for vloggers and content creators who want something small, easy and with convenient features to up their content game.

Imagine, dream of a camera with the fantastic 1” sensor from the Canon G7x, a 20mm focal point of view (POV), in a compact body with excellent microphones… well, don't imagine anymore, It's here, the Canon PowerShot V10.
So, let's start with the good - this is a new product from Canon, and I can't say I am not excited as this is likely the start of a line of cameras from Canon catering to this genre. The Canon PowerShot V10 opens up a whole world for vloggers and wannabe vloggers. Previously, your options for this kind of footage were your phone with or without a gimbal mount, a GoPro, or a big honking camera on a gimble or a handheld tripod.
The PowerShot V10 camera design is reminiscent of my old Flip video camera from about 18 years ago. The V10 is a tad bit wider and a touch heavier but with better sensors and, overall, a better camera. The camera shoots native 4k on its 20-megapixel sensor; it has a nice flip-up touch screen for controls, a top-mounted stereo microphone, and inputs for an external mic and HDMI out. The camera design is very functional and minimalistic; a significant part of my appeal to users would be the discreetness of the camera.
Who would be the ideal user? Well, Vloggers, for one, be it travel, food, or lifestyle vloggers. This camera can do it all if you shoot for Instagram or YouTube. Content creators crave a specific POV that captures our face and the background and is the ideal focal range when our arm is stretched out. The 6.3mm lens (on the 1” sensor) is equivalent to 20mm on the full-frame sensor and is perfect for this in-person recording.
I spent the last week with this fantastic vlogging camera traveling around. I took the camera to a protest in the streets of Downtown Los Angeles and followed it up to a friend's wedding in Mexico. In both places, I could shoot videos and photos discretely without gathering too much attention. The wedding videos from the dance floor will give the bride and groom a unique perspective to their guests that would not be readily available with phones shooting video. The camera’s low light performance is excellent, owing to the bigger sensor, and generally, videos show quite a bit of grain from the automatic gain increase to compensate for the low light, but in normal light, the video is perfect.
If you are an advanced vlogger, this PowerShot V10 does not output much in terms of adjustability for the end user. There is no RAW video format, its MP4 video, and the pictures are shot in JPG. Barring this letdown, the camera is fantastic. That said, if you are NOT looking to color correct your shots, this camera might work for you. Surely Canon has not overlooked their advanced users, but it is a shame that the camera does not output RAW in either video or stills.
So if you are going to use this camera for Tiktok or Instagram, the camera does pretty well in shooting 9:16 footage; just turn the camera horizontal to shoot in the vertical format. The inclusion of wifi and the app allows you to live stream into the apps with a better camera and send your captured video to your mobile device for editing before posting. The Canon Companions app for this camera is easy to use and quickly syncs. I did not have any issues with transferring videos or pictures from the camera. The transfer speeds are slow if you transfer 4k full-resolution videos over a wifi connection. Do note that if you are using this camera to shoot 4k, you will need a V30-rated microSD card. Otherwise, it will happily shoot 1080p without telling you it's shooting 1080p, which is not bad.
So would I buy this and use it instead of a phone or any other discrete camera? Well, for an easy-to-use to use camera, this wins. The GoPro is far more complicated to use, the phone, while easy to use, is bulky and with questionable video quality, a full-sized camera grabs attention but also has the best video quality. The Canon PowerShot V10 is an easy winner compared to all the alternatives. It is made for the casual user, and while Canon would probably make firmware updates over time to add missing features, it still is not a replacement for the professionals who regularly color grade and use raw video in their editing process. I still think there is a value to this Canon PowerShot V10, and I would use it regularly.
Pros:
* Discrete camera that almost looks like a cellphone but with better video quality
* Good microphone that picks up sound, and an external mic connector
* Built-in stand for table recording, a standard tripod mount for other mounting options
* Use of a camera as a super webcam for a computer.
Cons:
* For a 20MP sensor, it only uses 75% of the sensor availability to shoot 4k video or photos.
* No replaceable battery, recharges via USB-C. Battery life is decent but could be better
* Limited video controls, no digital zoom during recording (have to set before recording)
* No RAW output for video or photo, Limited photo controls - point and shoot camera.

The Canon PowerShot V10 is an okay little camera. It is good for Vlogging because it has a LCD that can swivel. The screen is an okay size. The menu is intuitive. If you already use a Canon, it will be familiar. I have had Canon cameras in the past. I currently use a Sony mirrorless DSLR, but the menus are familiar. It is not confusing even though I have been using Sony more recently. The LCD screen is also a touch screen which is a nice touch.
If you shoot in 4K, you will need a fast memory card. It will not let you record if the card is too slow. After a few seconds, it will stop recording and tell you the card is too slow.
It has a microphone jack (3.5mm) and HDMI out. It has a built-in microphone. It is not bad. If the room is quiet enough, it records okay. The HDMI port is micro HDMI. This is not the typical HDMI cable, but you can purchase it easily. There is no headphone jack, but you can playback on the device. There are two speakers on top.
You can connect it to your mobile device or tablet via bluetooth or wifi. It has GPS that will use your phone’s GPS capabilities.
It has a standard size tripod mount underneath. It fits well in my hands and it is comfortable to hold. Vlogging is easy with it. Although, I would recommend using an external microphone for better audio.
It has a feature called Digital Image Stabilization (IS). It has three options: Off, On, and Enhanced. It does its best, but you may have to use software during post to stabilize your footage.
The biggest complaint I have is using it with macOS. You can plug the camera to your Apple computer. Do not expect it to mount the storage drive. You will have to use Photos app to import. If this is not part of your workflow, you will have to use a card reader and mount the storage device that way. It’s an extra step. On Windows, it will mount as expected. No need for memory card reader. This is inconvenient for macOS users. Otherwise, it’s not a bad vlogging camera. It’s fairly capable. With good light and microphone, the results are great.

Canon's PowerShot V10 is an ideal companion for both professionals and beginners. This camera offers quick and easy access to filming and streaming, making it perfect for on-the-go content creation. Its robust body and sturdy kickstand add to its practicality, while the automatic image rotation and user-friendly interface cater to the needs of new vloggers and professionals alike.
The PowerShot V10's design is both functional and convenient. The bottom of the camera provides a tripod mount and access to the microSD slot. I particularly appreciate how the channel at the back of the unit, created when the screen is unfolded, seamlessly fits with the phone tripod I usually use. This design allows for an effortless setup without the need to spend time securing it in place.
On the sides, the camera is equipped with audio inputs for external microphones, a mini-HDMI output for external displays, and a USB-C input for charging and file transfer. This range of connectivity options enhances its versatility.
The package includes the camera unit, a USB-C cable, and instructions. However, I feel it lacks essential protective accessories. A case or pouch would be a valuable addition to safeguard the lens and screen from potential damage, especially for those who might want to carry it in a bag.
While some might prefer using their smartphones, the PowerShot V10 offers distinct advantages. For instance, it allows you to record while using your phone for other tasks. Although smartphones are capable devices, relying on them for everything isn't always feasible. The PowerShot V10 is an excellent alternative for those moments.
In summary, the Canon PowerShot V10 is a great choice for budding vloggers and those needing a reliable, brand-trusted camera for quick content creation. Its simplicity and functionality are commendable, but the addition of protective accessories would significantly enhance its value, especially considering its price point.

I’ve been using this camera to make youtube videos. I record long form content. Although it does work and looks good, it has issues uploading videos longer than 5 minutes. When I record for 30 minutes I cannot just upload the footage to my computer. Instead I have to individually cut the video into 6 pieces of 5 minutes long videos in the camera and then individually upload those from my camera. To be fair is very great for its price.

This is possibly the coolest piece of Vlogging tech I own. Instantly allowing my to step up my content creating by giving me the oppertunity to film at the drop of the hat. Just simply whip it out of my shirt pocket, pant pocket, camera bag, wrist sling. I mean, it doesn't really matter. It's so easy to carry around and go get those shots that you would normally miss on a whim. Inside the box, you'll get the camera, a charging cable( type C, of course.), and wrist strap. It takes micro sd cards. i recommend a Pro V3 for faster recording and fille transfer. But you'll have to get that on your own, as they are sold seperately. There's not lens cover, so you should use care when packing it, even though, it is still pretty sturdy. I like to pack mine my vlogging pack. It allows my camera to stay seperated from the rest of my equipment. It has really good battery. I use it to shoot a few minutes at at time so I don't ever really worry about running low on battery life. I charge it maybe every couple days, mainly of fridays, to be ready for the weekend shenanigans. It makes for easy selfies, with the use of the kickstand. It can also be controlled wwith your smartphone, for when you want to give some distance and get those wide shots instantly. The Canon app can be kind of a pain to get going at first, but after uninstalling and re-installing it, it works like a dream. The speakers pick up really well even when you're a few feet away from the cam. But you can also connect an external mic for thet nice and even sound quality. It is pretty pricey, but youre getting a really good camera. But for that price, I feel like they could've added a case or even camera lens. That's what keeps from getting 5 stars.

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.

I love this camera so much! So convenient being able to just slip it in your purse or even has a little stand to capture the hands off angles. I lost mine at the airport and someone took it so I love it that much to pay for it again

Would be a 5 star camera if it had a lens that zoomed. I ended up returning because I bought it to photograph jewelry and video processes and it just didn’t quite get it. If you don’t care about that then it would be the perfect camera for you. Easy to use.
I would recommend this to a friend

Got this for my daughter for her 21st birthday as she has been looking for a digital camera but never liked the ones she purchased and ended up returning them. When I saw this I knew she would love it and I was not wrong . She takes this everywhere now and uses the camera more than her phone . The cool thing is it also links to her phone and she can send the pictures to her friends from the phone .

Have had some trouble with this product since purchasing it. Got this to shoot videos while out backpacking and do vlogging while out on the trails. The biggest problems I have ran into so far: very sensitive to the charging cord that is used, and the power source used to charge it. Does not have a very long battery life. Usually if you film for the full hour in move mode the battery will begin to overheat and you will end up with a corrupted video file.
I will go out backpacking for days at a time and wanted something that would be user friendly. The setting and over all user interface are well done but the battery packs I take with me don't seem to do the trick and I can usually only film for a day or two before the battery runs out and won't charge back up.
I am planning on trying this out as a webcam and live steam device rather than a backpacking cam and hopefully it will preform a lot better in a less rugged setting.
