Best purchase ever! Work as both video/camera ! Great for traveling! Will definitely check out the next one that releases soon!

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

The video quality and sound is amazing. Ill will recommend it to othwrs.

It’s a cute camera to use for the little vlogs I do with my family.

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

The camera is great for video. Simple and easy to use. I was hoping it took better quality still photos. This is not a camera for still photos

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

My wife loves it. She carry it wherever she goes.!

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

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.

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

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 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.

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

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

My review title isn't meant to disparage this camera. It's a tradeoff. It's not the highest quality or most versatile image around, but everything about the camera is designed to be quick and easy to use. It doesn't take long to get used to the interface and the included kickstand along with the single button located on the front just makes everything pretty simple for taking face cam imagines and videos. Setup is easy enough. The camera doesn't come with a micro SD card so that's up to you to provide if you don't have an extra one laying around. A small 32 GB card would have been nice to included for getting up and running without any hitches. Some of the initial setup just wouldn't complete (like saving wifi information) without an SD card installed so it seems like a pretty big oversight to not included ANY card at all. Even if it was tiny. Otherwise, it's just a matter of following on screen instructions for setting up the camera. Doesn't take long. Settings are fairly basic and don't really overwhelm you. It's most everything you find on standard digital cameras. Shooting mode are limited enough as well to not overwhelm you and I don't think it needs more. I'm not a professional photographer or anything so I don't need most of the tiny details. The screen is also touch screen so you can adjust some settings without pressing any buttons on the camera. This is important when you have the screen flipped towards the front. Usage is dead simple. After you have the settings you like, just hit the red button on front. The kickstand is fantastic for setting the phone up on a flat surface without needing to worry about lugging around a tripod. The screen flips up over the top to face forward which I really like. Gives you a really nice preview really close to the lens so you always know if you're shooting the right thing. Battery life could definitely be better even for such a small and light device. And especially for a device that's made for mobile shooting. It feels like the battery should have been more of a concern. Just keep a charging brick available so you can charge it if you're going to be out for more than a couple hours. One of the reasons I was looking forward to this was the ability to use it as a straight up webcam via USB-C. It "just works" great. Plug it in and it's ready to use in OBS or whatever other software that can take advantage of a webcam. You're also able to connect to the micro HDMI port to show things off to your TV (or connect to an HDMI capture on your computer). The wide angle lens is really nice but I'm a little sad there's no optical zoom available. Picture quality is pretty good. I wouldn't notice tiny things that might be against the picture quality and I don't notice anything really wrong with the picture at all. Well lit is your friend but if you're a content creator already, you're probably already aware of how much proper lighting helps. No complaints on the picture. Overall, for a content creation camera, this is a really good product. I'm sad that any sort of digital zoom or stabilization is going to eat into your resolution but it's not something that really affects my content at all. A starter SD card would have been nice but it's not a deal breaker, just a little odd. Picture quality is good and everything is made to be quick and convenient to use just without all the bells and whistles. The USB webcam feature is going to get a ton of use in live streams. I can recommend this camera if you're looking for something for content creation and it's in your price range.
