What owners say about the Canon PowerShot V10

Based on 97 owners sharing their experience in online comments

49%positive18%mixed33%negative

Owners like its pocketable design and pleasing footage, while short battery life, overheating, focus, and stabilization are frequent frustrations.

What owners dislike

  • Owners say handheld footage looks shaky and the stabilization is weak, and it crops the image heavily, especially when walking.11
  • Owners say the battery drains quickly, often lasting only about an hour when recording or using it as a webcam, and the battery cannot be swapped.10
  • Owners say autofocus is slow and unreliable, especially in low light, and it can lose focus during a clip until the camera is stopped briefly.9
  • Owners say the camera overheats and shuts off during recording, especially in 4K, and a firmware update reportedly helped in some cases.7
  • Owners say the battery is built in and cannot be removed, so once it runs out or fails there is no quick replacement.6
  • Owners say image quality is weaker than expected compared with other compact cameras, with softer detail and less clarity than they hoped.6
  • Owners say the price is too high for what it offers, since phones and other compact cameras give similar or better results for less.5
  • Owners report the power button, screen, or buttons stopped working, and in some cases the camera would not power on or turned off after the memory card was removed.4
  • Owners say zoom is limited, with no automatic zoom and the digital zoom disables other features such as stabilization.4
  • Owners say the camera cannot be charged over USB while recording, so long recordings depend on battery life alone.3

What customers don't like about Canon PowerShot V10

  • There is no zoom at all, so distant subjects need you to move closer.
  • 4K video tops out at 29.97 fps, which limits fast motion.
  • The 2 in screen is small for checking details.
  • The battery is built in, so a spare battery is not possible.
  • It is not waterproof and has no weather sealing, so rain needs a bag.

Verdict

At 211 g and 63.4 mm wide, the Canon PowerShot V10 slips into a jacket pocket without a second thought. The 1-inch sensor and ISO up to 12800 handle dim streets and indoor evenings, and tracking autofocus keeps a moving subject in focus. Video at 120 Mbps keeps more detail in each frame, and two built-in microphones plus a microphone input help the sound. The trade-off is the lens: it does not zoom at all, so you move closer instead. It has a flip-out touchscreen, and Wi-Fi and Bluetooth move clips to a phone. The 2 in screen is small for checking detail, but the touchscreen makes menus quick. It suits a traveler or a vlogger who wants a small camera for everyday video and does not mind a fixed lens.
