Is the canon powershot v10 good for video?

Yes, the PowerShot V10 is a sensible pick for vlogging. Its fixed 6.6mm lens frames like about 18mm on full frame, which sits in the wide range I recommend for arm's-length video. It also has a built-in stand, which helps with talking-head shots.

Two things to weigh up. It has no stabilisation, so walking shots will look shakier than on a stabilised camera. And sound is up to you, so budget for a shotgun mic or wireless microphones, as covered in Audio.

If you also want a flip-up screen and a zoom, look at the Canon PowerShot G7 X Mark III, a vlogging favourite. For the full checklist, see Video.
