Canon has announced the new PowerShot V10, a compact camera aimed at vloggers on-the-go, capable of recording 4K video in UHD at 29.97p and up to 15MP still images.
Canon’s new compact truly lives up to its name with petite dimensions of 63.4x90x34.3mm, making it roughly the same size as a deck of cards, so easily fits into a coat or jeans pocket. It also only weighs in at 211 grams.
Although small and lightweight, the V10 fits in some impressive features, including a 6.6mm f/2.8 wide-angle lens, this is a full-frame equivalent of 18mm when shooting stills or 19mm when shooting video. Its 1-inch back-illuminated CMOS sensor is considerably larger than those in most smartphones and paired with its bright f/2.8 maximum aperture should deliver good image quality. Although total sensor pixels are stated as 20.9MP, the ‘effective’ megapixels vary, partly due to if you’re shooting in 16:9 for videos or 3:2 ratio for stills images. Canon UK’s product team also explained: “For video: 13MP size area of the sensor is used to produce 4K and Full HD video. For stills: although the calculated pixel count adds up as 20MP, due to distortion correction the final output images end up being lower resolution at 15MP.”
