The PowerShot V10 is Canon's first real attempt at a vlogging camera, but it's worth pointing out that the company already makes several cameras that are ideal for vloggers – not only in the PowerShot compact range but also in its mirrorless EOS R and EOS M lines. In fact, the V10 feels decidedly underpowered next to pretty much all of them, and its faults are likely to frustrate anyone who bought it expecting a major step up over a smartphone. While the V10's size and simple controls are appealing, prospective vlog stars may well be better to stick with their phone for the time being, and use the money instead to put towards a bigger, better camera that will really take their videos to new heights.
