@@hiflyer53qwc set your gimbal speed to fast, and the roll cage won’t cover. That’s how i have it permanently now, i simply slow down movements if i want more pleasing look.

@@JoATTech yeah, it might be an amazing B cam, and i feel like it’s the end of Sony’s inexpensive lineup. 10 bit camera on sticks, might be good enough for much of what i do.

@@JoATTech Your comment does highlight the conundrum with the camera. They bill it for vlogging but the stabilization isn't necessarily top of the line in that you have to use a gimbal or live with some pretty sizable, micro 4/3 camera type crops when shooting 4K using digital stabilization. This makes some of those m4/3 Panasonic(LX100 mii, Gx9) and Olympus cameras,(Pen F, Pen E-P7, OMD), however older worth considering in my book.

​@@Cthames123 Exactly what I meant. Pocket 3 is much better than this one for vlogging. And it's cheaper and has a wireless lav mic in creator combo (still cheaper than ZV-E10 mkII). But for YT studio shots ZV-E10 MKII is 10x better than Pocket 3 (with its 20mm fixed F5.5 FF equiv aputure). So ZV-E10 MK2 is great camera, but definitely not for vlogging. I have no idea what Sony thinks advertising this as vlogging camera. I've seems some reviews, and reviewers seems to use ninja walk to prove it's vlogging camera ... LOL.

​@@JoATTech Yup! That's largely how I view it as well. The ZVE-10 line is a good entry into the Sony interchangeable lens system,(beginner or seasoned pro), who want a tiny yet capable solution for everyday photo and video. For video, yes, you're not going to get Pocket 3 stabilization straight out of camera, but you can stabilize shakey walking handheld footage in post with the free catalyst browse. If you shoot on a tripod or sit the camera on a flat surface, (i.e. car dashboard), you don't need stabilization and what we are describing as lacking video stabilization is irrelevant to you. If you are a photo first shooter who does occasional video the thought of catalyst browse is not a terrible idea, and the photography aspect of the camera blows away anything the pocket 3 can do. I understand there are enhancements to the original, ZV-E10 but those enhancements in my mind don't justify the extra cost. For me, the ZV-E10 mii now makes the original more attractive considering the inevitable price reduction that will be seen on brand new and used models.

​@@Cthames123 For me it would probably make great b-cam for my A7IV (same codes and color profiles). But this could be easily really good A-cam for YT studio work (or as you said shots from tripods or any other static shots). In my country A6700 is 30% more expensive, and since I have A7IV as my main photo camera I do not really need photo capabilities of it. But if someone needs real hybrid, A6700 is much better choice.

850 to 900 seems more right for the zve10ii, sony needs entry level cameras to match entry level pricing... but I see what they're doing, deviating from entry level at all

@@davidfirth1 can’t you get the glasses in non polarized flavor? I have too many cameras, can’t recall the bad behaviors, went non polarized, no more issues.

@@CharlieVN I'd get more headaches if I did, so, I wouldn't. Polarization takes care of so much more glare than a simple anti glare coating.

for the shorter range, you can get the zv1, which is darn close, and dirt cheap used, I think I got mine for $250 on CL lol. I feel like telephoto is always a struggle with any ILC system, hence why so many gravitate towards M43 for instance. Telephoto gets increasingly difficult with the larger the sensor, and I just love mixing compressed shots with the "normal" range, and I do miss the larger aperture for sure, but practically, I set it to the back of my mind and simply have at it.

@@cameraprepper7938 I owned and loved the RX100 VA for 4 years, (2019-2023), until I traded it to get the ZV1. It was at this time I discovered what I was missing out on with 4k video. The RX100 VA has a 5min record limit for 4K video that I don’t think you can get around, and absolutely no 4k hand held stabilization what so ever. You can’t use Catalyst Browse to stabilize footage from the RX100 VA in post. The 4K video quality was spectacular but unusable hand held. Must use a gimbal, tripod, or rest camera on a stationary surface. For HD, stabilization was very good. No microphone audio input jack though. The pop up flash and EVF are great for photos, but there were problems at the 24mm end for me with barrel distortion, same as zv-1. I didn’t care really at first but as I used it more I came to detest the stretching at 24mm. Distortion went away at 50mm, and this was the sweet spot for me, but closer to the 70mm range the contrast on photos would fall apart. The flash shooting with the RX100 VA, which I always used, really hid the camera’s limited low light performance which really shows up when shooting in low light with the identical sensor and lens system of the ZV1, (no built in flash). Good luck with the rx100 VA. I hope you enjoy it.

@@CharlieVN I do not like cameras that do not have an EVF ! For general photography, I never use less than 60 megapixels full frame cameras with prime Lenses. So if I do want more "compression", I can just crop a lot.

@@Cthames123 the are plenty of better values, price performance, but focusing on size, hard to beat the rx100. I did have the zve1 and this is my first trip without a ILC, probably in 20 years, the relief of bringing a small camera is really nice. Small tripod, battery, lack of sling, it’s super nice.

black mist, f4 1/30 and ISO 6400++

think of the bright side, better than the California involuntary loaner program 😅

@@lifetowander get that all the time, vn, not pinoy.

Yes, simply straight up. Use tracking if you want the angle down movement, you won’t be able to do without.

@@CharlieVN Thanks. I bought a selfie stick for the first time, and I can't start off as low to the ground to begin with. If I extend the selfie stick as I film, it gets all shaky. So I was curious about how it's usually done.

It’s possible but probably not? Onboard mic is a maybe, dynamic mic is a no, wireless mic also a no. Most of the time, i go without the fan as the camera doesn’t really overheat with day to day activities. I’ve done a few talking head videos with it since and the noise is not detectable.

@@CharlieVN ah I see! Thank you for your reply! :-)
