Canon PowerShot V10 Vlogging Kit silber

Digitalkameras im Test: Die beste Kamera für Ihre Zwecke

The PowerShot V10 becomes Canon’s best dedicated vlogging camera to date, taking the quality of the G7X III, but crucially repackaging it into a body designed for filming first. I was happy to trade the zoom for a wider fixed lens, with the broader coverage making it perfect for handheld vlogging or maker demonstrations. And while there’s no optical IS, the digital stabilisation does a good job at ironing out most wobbles albeit at the cost of a crop. The built-in ND filter with an Auto setting keeps your shutter speeds sensible outdoors, the stereo mics are capable of recording great quality audio although there’s also a mic input if you need it, and the body fits perfectly into one hand with the record button falling directly under your thumb. Best of all though is the built-in stand, allowing you to easily angle the camera up or down for very quick setups without worrying about a tripod. But by inheriting the G7X III’s sensor, the V10 shares the same contrast-based AF system which can’t help but wobble at times. I believe the V10 uses the updated G7X III AF mode, so while it is responsive to changes in subject distance, my beta test sample sometimes focused back and forth more than I personally liked. That said, this AF wobble was no worse than the firmware-updated G7X III, so if you’re already satisfied by the performance of that model, you’ll be fine here. If you’re not though, look for a model with phase-detect AF. Beyond this, I’d have preferred a user-replaceable battery and a mounting for wind mufflers which didn’t require third-party stick-on rings. But overall, filming with the V10 was a very positive experience. This is a camera designed for vloggers and video creators first, rather than forcing you to work around the ergonomics of a hybrid camera. I certainly preferred it to the G7X III for filming, and if you were considering that model primarily for video work, I’d definitely now get this one instead.
