Canon Europe has announced the PowerShot V10, a lightweight and easy-to-use camera for vloggers. Weighing just over 211g and fitting neatly into your pocket, the PowerShot V10 offers lifestyle and travel content creators an all-in-one solution that features 4K UHD video recording, a high-quality microphone, built-in stand and 14 unique colour filters.
The design is a detour for Canon – housed in a sturdy vertical body the V10 is portable and unobtrusive. The centred record button is tailor-made for quick and agile one-handed camera control. The PowerShot V10 features a large 1-inch CMOS sensor – the same as that found in the PowerShot G7X – which is capable of delivering stunning 4K video quality, while also offering stills shooting capabilities.
The Movie Digital IS mode is ideal for handheld videography, offering sharper, cleaner footage with more detail and clarity. You can shoot with the PowerShot V10 in both orientations, and record up to an hour of continuous video. On top of this, the auto level feature can help keep your video straight, reducing time needed to edit your content.
For shooting outdoors or in an urban environment, the PowerShot V10 is equipped with two large stereo microphones which are designed for narration, and a third audio noise reduction microphone. On top of the built-in wind filter, an optional windshield can be purchased as part of the advanced accessories kit.
The PowerShot V10 is fully compatible with Canon Camera Connect app, so you can transfer your videos to a smartphone or tablet over Wi-Fi with ease. Its smart, intuitive design also includes both HDMI and USB ports for easy transfers to a laptop or desktop computer, or to use as a webcam. The V10 can also be recharged on the go via USB-C.
Simplified live streaming capabilities are included in the PowerShot V10 as standard, with dedicated menu options for live streaming on YouTube and Facebook – including a test feature.
