From the first glance, we feel the relationship between the newly announced Canon PowerShot V10 and the Canon Legria Mini and Mini X released 10 years ago. Same design, same vocation… we even come to wonder why Canon chose to stamp its PowerShot device, a range devoted to compact cameras, rather than Legria, representing camcorders.
1 inch sensor and 4K video
More compact than a smartphone with dimensions of 63.4 x 90 x 34.3 mm and only 211 g, the Canon PowerShot V10 is an amazing foldable camera that can be stored in a pocket or bag. This small box contains a 2-inch hinged adjustable screen as well as a kickstand to put the device down without using a tripod.
Image capture is entrusted to a 1-inch backlit sensor, much larger than that of smartphones and other on-board cameras. The 6.6 mm f/2.8 fixed lens offers a 19 mm focal length (in eq. 24×36) allowing in particular selfie shooting. The Canon PowerShot V10 records footage to a micro SD card at up to 4K 30fps or 1080p 60fps, in 9:16 or 16:9 as needed.
On the sound side, this model has an omnidirectional stereo microphone on which you can attach noise-canceling windshields to limit wind interference. Videographers wishing to go further can connect an external microphone using the 3.5mm mini-jack.
Price and availability
With the PowerShot V10, Canon is clearly targeting social media content creators. Easy to use with its action camera style ergonomics, the new Canon camcorder is also intended to be accessible.
The Japanese brand thus offers two packs, the Vlogger Kit and the Advanced Vlogger Kit. The first, available in gray or black at €449, includes the camera, a strap, a carrying pouch, a lens cap and windscreens for the microphone. The Advanced Vlogger Kit, which adds a protective cage, is displayed at €479.
