Es la mejor reseña de esta camara que encontré. Vas directo al grano y das la informacion que uno desea escuchar. Muchas gracias.

[@Zdenek_Houdek]

I disagree that 10 bit 422 is only for color effects. I use FX30 and always record video with these parameters. I don't always hit the white balance and exposure compensation. And it is these parameters that give you room for corrections - for example, when you enter a space illuminated by yellow light and you don't have time to weigh the white light. No, you can't do magic with it, but you can move it to much nicer colors without it falling apart.

[@VentureAddicts]

I was actually struggling to pick between the mark ii and the 6700 for a camera that will be used only on sticks. It’s great to see the alpha series keep improving but the mark ii should work perfect as a long form, stationary podcast camera, which is great especially if you need a bunch for multiple angles🤞

The TikTok ban explosion had me laughing, good one Jason! I'm sticking with A7C ii tho..

[@dennisgoingplaces]

Not having IBIS is too much of a dealbreaker to me as well. Was on the fence of buying the a6700 or the ZV-E10II, but waited for the official specs. Long story short, just ordered the a6700!

[@denis_foguenne]

haha I bought the a6700 2 weeks ago, I was stressing about having made the wrong choice but I finally did well here :) the a6700 is so good !

[@AOSRoyal]

These cameras are two completely different price categories and target audience. You’re comparing the wrong cameras

[@michaelbell75]

You are never going to get a sub $1,000 camera with IBIS, especially from Sony.

[@geometerfpv2804]

I don't understand why people are so obssessed with IBIS. It doesn't do much for video. It certainly isn't enough stabilization to film while walking. So, you either need a gimbal, which is a whole massive rig to carry around, or you need to active, in which case you need to shut of IBIS anyway. IBIS is a feature that makes photos crisp in lower light settings, or longer zooms. It really doesn't do anything magical for video. Yet people are willing to pay so much for it...

[@michaelbell75]

@@geometerfpv2804 You havent used a Panasonic I guess. Their IBIS is definitely good enough to walk around with.

Bigger battery... oh yeah! I'm thinking of picking this up for a lighter option and for the high MP pictures (than the zve1). A zoom warning would be nice! Hope they're watching your video ;) I have accidentally recorded slow motion with NO audio too (on my ZV1M2), nice it's a switch! IBIS missing is too weird! NOW I'm leaning towards the a6700... the apsc lenses make the whole setup so much lighter...

I just picked up the 6700 a few weeks ago and seeing people say the 6700 is a better choice makes me feel good bout my choice.

[@qq_02]

Bingo. IBIS was the main thing that was expected from Mark II as the more expensive cameras were getting it. Without IBIS, this is just a casual refresh that doesn't justify the added price. Almost half of the Mark I price added on top just for the 10-bit colour and 4k60 and the new UI that SHOULD BE BACKPORTED TO OLDER DEVICES as a software update. For a customer, I recommend Mark I or 6700.

[@KiraOmori]

I’m really frustrated that the touchscreen is pretty much useless on the Mark I :( I wish there could be a software update that fixes it, but I highly doubt it. Might be UI and better utilization of the touchscreen are things Sony would decide that sets the Mark II from the Mark I.

[@KuttyKarthiVlogs]

Best review channel ever seen ❤ love from India 🇮🇳

[@simoz78]

Are IBIS and OSS really useful for walking/vlog videos? My fx30 is unusable for walking video hand-held anyway. My zv-e1 with electronic stab is better (even if stll far from an acrtion camera stab)

[@geometerfpv2804]

You are 100% correct. I don't know why people are so obsessed with IBIS. It does not stabilize video in any signifcant way. Active is much better, and if you do it with gyroflow in post, you can control how much crop there is among many other things. This is ticking me off...so many youtubers are suggesting people spend enormous amounts of money to get IBIS for video...and it doesn't even do the thing they are claiming it does! I don't know how people got so badly misinformed on this. On an IBIS camera, if you want to film while walking, you either need a gimbal, or you need to shut off IBIS and use active. That's it.

[@trym2121]

If you walk vlog just get dji pocket 3. That's the ultimate device for that purpose

[@nyohaku]

This seems to be well thought out camera and nicely placed in their lineup. It solves most of the issues I have with the original, but keeping the dim screen may be a dealbreaker for me. You can forget about still photography on a sunny day at f4. But fast primes can turn it into a workable hybrid. EVFs can be pricey.

[@punto360reviews]

it is work for realstate video? im planning buying this + a very good wide angle lense, which would you recommend?

Great review! I recently upgraded from my starter camera (the ZVE-10) to the a6700. When I heard about the mark II I was worried I might have jumped the gun- some of the initial predictions about the mark II made ir seem as if it might've trumped the upgrade to the 6700 (which I absolutely love, btw).Awesome to see it upgraded, but it's good to know I'm not really missing out on anything (plus I have IBIS, yo!). Love your channel!

[@DM-br7vt]

Oooooo when I was in Tokyo in May. I saw you filming. I guess u were testing this camera

[@MusiTechOfficial]

The Mark ii is completely changed from the baby ZVE10, the new grip, bigger battery, fulltouch display, more practical features and lot more, the older model was super powerful too instead of just vlogging, the Mark ii will be a powerhouse and upgrade on the previous e10💪🏻❤️‍🔥

[@GLJKins]

The Sony A6500 and 16-50mm lens is a better choice for performance and money. I love my A6500 and I have owned many, many cameras. High-end and consumer cameras.

[@BlueHawk80]

just because you own it dorsnt mean its great. Actually the 6500 is pretty old by now, even the 6400 is better aside from IBIS, let alone the 6600/6700.

It's as easy as this: you get an affordable zve10 mark 1, or a capable a6700.

[@davidgapp1457]

So $700 for a e10 with 16-50 lens plus kit, or nearly $1500 for a body-only camera. I think I'll just use my gimbal stabilizer mount on the e10....

[@priitmolder6475]

This camera is targeted towards entry level streaming. In that term, its an amazing upgrade. Apart from overheating issues with Gen 1 cameras, the Mini-HDMI connector is notoriously fragile on Sony cameras, which led to constant disconnects. Would have wished to see a segment how the USB-C cable has fixed this

Hi, nice review. I have the ZVE10 original. Do you recommend upgrading to ZVE10 mark II? Or investing in a lens?

[@symonreypantilon5746]

i have same question planning to buy the zve10, or is it worth it to upgrade to mark II

[@JonathanWillis]

If you can afford the mark II, just buy the a6700. Vs. Zv-e10 mark I, The mark II, losses the mechanical shutter, but gains the newer sensor that can do 4k60, 10bit HDR, less rolling shutter, can preview luts in camera. 10bit isn't worth it for KZbin, what you need is stabilisation which this camera doesn't have. It's a spec bump but with no real usable benefits.

[@symonreypantilon5746]

@@JonathanWillis a7iii or a6700? thank you! i need your inputs!

[@JonathanWillis]

@@symonreypantilon5746 the A7 will bring all the big frame benefits, more bokeh, better low light etc. But it will be bigger, heavier, cost more not just the body but also the lenses.

[@hasenmyer]

the zoom rocker on the ZVE1 was the absolute deal breaker for me. I just couldn't get past it. the only solution was a cage, which defeated the purpose of a small camera.

[@GUNPLAOFEL]

I have owned the A6700 for 3 months I am happy with it has all my needs. Anyway, I was curious of the ZV-10 II as I expected the price the features are improved 10bitt, 4k60 but without IBS, Shutter dials, and no mechanic shutter. I knew, they limited the ZV line because, if it has all the features you should probably pay more than the normal. The ZV-E II is a good camera for new beginners for making films, photos, and vlogs. I'm not a vlog guy but if you wanna vlog In my opinion use the DJI 3 wide lens, easy to carry around.

[@catalin-ap]

Always appreciate it when big camera reviewers like yourself are honest about a camera, and don't just say "it's the best of the best" even when it's not. So yeah, the lack of IBIS, lack of mech shutter in a "also-photo" camera, and $999 price, can make it a tougher choice for some people. While the updated menu, touchscreen, vertical shooting, 10bit, and especially the bigger battery (double the capacity) are great things.

Appreciate your candor in this first impressions video, Jason! Two questions: 1) if this were to be used as a webcam for a Zoom meeting for instance, is a capture card necessary or will a USB cable suffice? and 2) will the audio from say a Sony ECM mic on the ZV-E10ii be picked up by the computer? Overkill for Zoom calls, I know.

[@Chaelaz]

I've loved my ZV-E10 and was interested in the Mark II for a second, just to have. But not for over a 30% increase. Just need to be patient for a decent used FX3 still and jump on the FF train. Time = more saved $$$. Cheers.

Over here in the UK on Amazon it was £429 for Mark I, and at Wex photography the mark II is £925! The price difference is way off.
