sensor with Dual Pixel CMOS CF, a Digic 8 processor and 4K/25p video, with Full HD up to 60p or HD to 120p. There’s built-in Movie Digital IS, plus Vertical Movies and a Movie Digest function, where the camera creates two- to four-second video clips every time a shot is taken and then compiles these into a motion sequence. Compatibility is offered POWERSHOT FOR VLOGGERS Canon’s new Powershot V10 is a lightweight and easy-to-use vlogging camera that combines high-quality microphones with a built-in stand. It is designed to produce shake-free 4K UHD movie recording with background blur. The vertical body is an entirely new design for Canon and features a large one-inch CMOS sensor capable of 4K video and stills shooting. To give an easy choice of looks straight out of camera, there are 14 colour filter effects as well as Smooth Skin mode. Movie Digital IS mode helps avoid camera shake. The £430/$429 camera can shoot in portrait and landscape and record up to an hour of continuous video. It has two mics for stereo recording and a third for background noise reduction. On top of the electronic wind filter, there are physical windshields that can be attached.
It features precise control, with 1/4, 1/3 or full-stop increments. The thickness of these filters are carefully paired with the camera to ensure no back-focus shifts when switching between the two. ND can then be controlled via the integrated buttons on the electronic filter, the on- board LCD, the DSMC3 seven-inch LCD, Red Control or any other Red-compatible remote control system. The adapter supports Cooke/i lens communication and record triggering, and also includes both a set of Komodo Side Ribs and Adapter Support brackets. The camera comes in black only. A limited-edition white version was offered at launch – but this sold out instantly. Red has also released a significant firmware update for the original Komodo, adding the ability to record in ELQ R3D, a boost in AF performance, accelerometer and gyro data for R3D, timecode and support for Prograde media cards. red.com
There’s a two-inch LCD touchscreen and the camera is compatible with the Canon Camera Connect app, so you can transfer video to a smartphone via Wi-Fi. HDMI and USB-C ports allow for easy transfers to a PC and use as a webcam.
