I gonna buy the ZV E10 Mark II, because I only need it for vlogging. It‘s more beginner friendly and the size is perfect for travel. I will use the Sony 11mm fe1.8 lens and I‘m fine for almost every situation. By the way - I’m freakin love the cine vlog mode 🤘🏻

[@TheCrazyStudent]

That was a very detailed comparison. After seeing some other KZbinrs review the new ZV-E10, I sort of already knew that the A6700 is more what I’m looking for. And this video made that even more obvious. Thank you for summarizing the differences between the cameras in such a detailed manner.

[@ksh6]

I disagree the thoughts at the end where you said $400 can be too much for someone when thinking of a6700 as an option. Going with either the cameras, if you add the cost of 2-3 lenses and accessories, this $400 no longer looks like a big cost. This is just Sony trying to upsell. Their most selling camera was E10, so they didn't want to replace it, instead they brought a new option at a price in between it and a6700 so that they can keep selling E10. And if some competitor brings something that threatens E10 sales, they will retire it and reduce the price of E10 ii. Plus, this will upsell some of E10 folks all the way upto a6700. A win-win for Sony no matter which you choose. Nothing wrong with it, just mentioning the product strategy here. In my opinion if this was at E10 price, it would have been fantastic no brainer option, and an instant buy. But at the current price, it is a pass. This was supposed to be a low cost camera, that was its main selling point. Once that is gone, it doesn't make much sense for its intended vlogging purpose without IBIS. It can be a great studio-camera, that's about it, but E10 can do the same anyway.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

you may disagree - but you don’t know peoples’ budgets. some people can budget for one body and one lens. Read through my comments and you’ll see a bunch who don’t want to spend the extra on the a6700. I’m not saying anyone has to buy it, but it’s the cheapest way to get these features in the Sony lineup.

[@PatrickWithCamera]

Agree, actual price is a bit too high for E10 II, in my country it's price is very close to fujifilm X-S20 which is overall better camera, except AF.

[@ksh6]

​@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis People have differing budgets - true. But if budget was that much of a constraint, they are better off with older E10. What I meant is that, they have created a situation where either the top end or the bottom end makes sense, but not the middle one. Basically this is the ladder product strategy, same as the one used by Apple for all their products is what I meant. Anyways, fantastic review as always. I watched your yesterdays and todays review of this camera. I was someone looking to buy this, hoping it had IBIS.

[@AngkelBee]

No, I think Mark has his points. Spot on as well. If you want better images, lenses is the best way to go. I owned ZVE10mii and pre ordered the mark ii. First lens I grab is Sigma 18-50mm f2.8 and it made significant improvement.

[@Frus77sh2]

i've been following this channel since I wanted to buy the ZVE10 and here I find the most honest review... Every channel is SO focused on maximum performance and "yeah.. just buy the most expensive one if you can but the other one isn't going to be so bad" Here, it's the other way round... Mark is highlighting every aspect and I feel like he almost says "dont buy this if you dont know what you need it for" Also, the low light comparsion he makes are THE BEST BY FAR... taking care of the Colors, light % , lenses and the same image Thanks mark! Sadly some one stole my ZVE10 but I'll go this time for the A6700

the video I've been waiting for!!

[@Jasonmoofang]

It doesn't really hit you when you look at them in videos, but I was a little bit shocked at how much larger the a6700 body is when handling display units in the store. It's pretty much larger than an a7c, even if it is a little lighter. I know I'm a minority but that was actually a real deterrent for me. I like to be able to bring my camera all over the place and not draw attention, and I also regularly bring a bunch of camera stuff while climbing mountains so every bit of weight and bulk I can save is very welcome. Specs wise the a6700 is perfect, but I couldn't bring myself to pull the trigger, and although I wish the zv-e10ii could do a little bit more, I'm feeling like I would probably be getting it over the a6700.

[@theIronmerchant]

So I was excited about the new zve10 but I don’t think I’m going to upgrade mine right now. I have a A7iv a FX30 and the OG zve10. I don’t think that new camera will do much for me. I film in 1080 so the 4k doesn’t mean much. The battery life would be nice but I like a mechanical shutter for photos and the price was a bit higher than I expected. I think for now I’ll keep the OG zve10

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

Makes sense to me

[@Hobbies4Hire]

Great job on the video Mark! Thanks for making it. We're having an event next weekend at my store, and all the major vendors will be sending Reps (Revelations?) so hopefully I will be getting some hands-on time with this new unit. It is compellingly priced as a C-cam for those of us that already have the FX30 and A6700.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

Yes - a perfect use case

[@Mohajerhub]

Thanks Mark. To be honest, I think ZV e10 ll is a weird release from Sony! You pay the price for an upgrade, but it's not an actual upgrade compared to Mark I. We're in 2024, it has the label of vlogging camera but it doesn't have IBIS! If you only want something for vlogging and simplicity, Osmo Pocket 3 is a way better choice in my opinion (I stopped using my a7s iii in favour of that for vlogs). If you need photography as well as video, and price is an important factor, ZV e10 Mark I is still a great choice. If you're happy to pay more for a more professional body, go for a6700. Simple 😁

[@Jason_Hermann]

Excellent breakdown/ comparison Mark!

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

Thanks, Jason!!

[@IntrovertAmateur]

Damn you are quick :D I'm in the a6700 camp. If someone is slightly interested in photography, the EVF and the mechanical shutter is more then just a bonus. And for video the pro list is so damn long as listed literally in this video. Paying 40% more sounds very high, but this is one of the rare cases where I would say paying the 40% brings you more then 40% value - as long photography is an interest. Great job Mark! Curious which kind of comparison you will pump out next :D How about Sony ZVE10 II vs. Lumix S9? 🤔

[@icn1983]

After years of neglect, Sony's APS-C line seems like its most fully fleshed out. I think the combination of FX30 for pro video and A6700 for b-roll/stills would be hard to beat, with the ZV-E10II being a great entry point for beginners.

[@farley333]

I bought my E10 mk1 half a year ago. I love it but I was prepared to buy the mk2 when it shows up. But mk2 looks like as bulky as A6700 (detailed size comparison would be cool) and it's too expansive. That's 1000 bucks I can put forwards to A6700. Also, here in Czech Repiblic the difference is approx 300 USD. I already do have bunch of lenses, so no rush to keep the difference money. I'll just stick with my OG Duggie a bit longer. ❤

the only time i think getting a zv-e10 ii would make sense is 1. you focus entirely on making vlogs or 2. you need a second lighter body to the fx3 / fx30 or a6700 if you do video work otherwise if: - you need a camera that can do 50/50 photo & video - weather sealed body - you need 4k120 then its a nobrainer a6700

Mark you read my mind 😅 Exactly what I was looking for! Thanks. Would you consider doing a comparison between the 6700 and fuji x-s20? The open gate format is really tempting me for shooting for both vertical and horizontal videos…

[@HagaishiSama]

I would definitely say the mark 2 is a great camera for a low price for any videographer or vlogger looking for high quality video without having to pay high quality video money. But if you can spend an extra $300 to $400 then hands down by a 6700 because with all the features that comes with the a6700 is a no brainer. You have the dynamic range of a Sony a7r 5 in crop mode You have 5 to 6 stops of inbody stabilization Do you have a evf You have a camera body that is weather sealed And you have a mechanical shutter It's definitely worth the money but the mark 2 is also a great camera for what its intended for and at a awesome price.

[@otter-pro]

I think zv-e10II is in a weird spot, as it is neither a budget camera nor a mid-level camera. It's too expensive (compared to zv-e10m1) . If it was $800, it'd be an instant buy. Or for $1200, if it had 4k120, IBIS, and weather seal body, then it would be an instant buy, too.

[@AngkelBee]

Yes i agree. Weird spot. I cannot recommend mark ii for most of my friends. I would recommended them mark i as they arent cinema purist like I am. Just casual users who wants point to shoot stuff.

[@KarlSainte]

Agree. The price tag throws value off. Sub $999 was a huge selling point. $749-$800 w/o lens is the sweet spot. At $999, the 6700 at $1399 is a better deal.

[@AskIveSolar]

Great point here! They know what they are doing. But guess what, I'll just keep my money or keep researching

[@catalin-ap]

Good to know! So there are some video/vlogging-centric differences that favor the ZV-E10 II, compared to the a6700, if they're both at full price. And also the fact that ZV-E10 II is better than a6700 when it comes to overheating. The ZV-E10 1, being so small, wasn't great, but there the battery would probably die a bit sooner than from overheating. Don't know if you mentioned the tally light, which I would personally would want in any hybrid camera. It's nice both for you to know that you're rolling if you're in front of the camera, and for your talent as well it can be useful. Really liked it on my ZV-E10 1. As well as that, the ZV cameras are very funny once you put the wind muffs on, they look to have either a fro, or an Elvis-style hair. Other than that, there is quite a lot of overlap in video, for many Sony cameras with relatively close prices: - ZV-E10 II / a6700 - FX30 / ZV-E1 So it also depends on whether one does only vlogging, or wants to have a great event video camera. Or a great photography travel camera as well. Or just IBIS. So it can be hard to choose. And probably the ZV-E10 1 will be sold for a lot of time, because the ZV-E10 II is not actually a replacement, but a higher-entry-level camera, and their prices also reflect that. And the ZV-E10 1 is also smaller and a bit lighter.

[@DavidYokelson]

Awesome comparison. Thorough, concise and entertaining. I think it should be mentioned that the ZV zoom rocker only works with Sony zoom lenses (super pricey glass that quickly wipes out the $400 savings).

[@davep2945]

What most people don't consider when asking why any company leaves features out of one product versus another is the ability to sell the lesser product at an even lower price than it's typical listing price while still making money. The A6700 might have enough margin for Sony to discount it $200 while still making enough to be profitable. While the ZV-E10 II could like be discounted the same $200 while maintaining a higher total margin or at a $300 discount while still eaking out a profit and making up the difference on volume. And when it's on sale for $799 and the A6700 isn't on sale that makes the ZV-E10 II seem like an even greater value to those who are just going to use it as a video platform. Now it's a $600 savings and that's a decent lens and tripod worth of difference. Not to mention that when the ZV-E10 II is bought at it's typical list price there's even more margin going into Sony's pockets than when the A6700 is bought at typical retail. You also have to keep in mind that marketing matters. A lot of people simply don't understand that something like the A6700 is an equal and often better video platform just because it's not marketed as a "creators" camera. Remember, the target audience isn't pro photographers or videographers who understand all the specs. There are plenty of amateurs who need marketing to tell them what they are buying. Also, don't forget the market for those looking for a secondary camera for video where they just don't need all the features and want to save some money. I have long used a Sony camcorder with great results when I wanted video but now that I have a Sony A6600 and an A7IV having the ability to use the same lenses on a less expensive "video-centric" rig sounds appealing.

[@stelioshz]

I see the ZV-E10 II being a better starter camera for someone who would like to start recording videos, and not spend as much. Both the easier to find options, which make it easier to find the more automated "tools", who would help a beginner more, and also the microphone, which I believe is something meaningless for a professional, who most likely will have an external mic in any occasion. As a beginner, personally I would prefer to go for the A6700. Even though it's 400$ more expensive, I like outdoor shooting more, and having a viewfinder on a sunny day, or a stabilizer, would be a big help I believe. Also the AI chip would help anyone, more or less, on a situation where you do many things at once.

[@adlerz5433]

Someone requested this video and Mark delivered in like two days 😂

One thing worth mentioning would be the fact that the ZV-E10 II's lower weight is not only an advantage, but also a disadvantage as it even aggravates the camera's lack of stabilization: Microjitters have a much larger impact on a lightweight camera than on a heavier one as more force is needed to make it move. I often wondered why image stabilization of the 18-105 is so massively superior to the kit lens, and I think the answer is: Because it's four times as heavy. Very lightweight body and no IBIS is a terrible combination for photography as well as for handheld video shooting.

[@babajaiy8246]

Not for me. I have an a6700 and use fixed lenses. Having the ZV-E10 II as a second body so I don't have to change lenses and a reduced weight is a bonus for trekking in the field. A lighter weight also allows me to hold the camera more steady because I don't have to use as much effort to hold it - which lets me focus on keeping steady - which I can do better with any lighter camera. It's actually the heavier cameras for me in which I tend to get the micro movements more often.

i have the a6400 and consider to switch to the a6700 but not sure at the moment, because i do more photo than video.

Hi Mark. I've been considering using the new E10 II outside in a tropical climate (Thailand). If using 4k 24 or 30fps, how long do you think it'll realistically last? And would that cooling fan you mentioned make any meaningful difference? Thanks!

[@vlazik]

I have a couple m50s and m200 Canon cameras. And I will start switching to Sony with ZV E10 II this year.

[@babajaiy8246]

I'm switching back to Canon. I love my A6700 - It's simply a very good quality build camera. But it can't beat how it records color across the spectrum compared to Canon. Of course, that is my personal taste. But I find it is so much easier to manage/tweek colors post production with a shot made with a Canon than Sony.

[@MrSunys]

amazing review and comparison!

[@HigherEdutech]

It seems like the IBIS in the a6700 offers more than just less crop than the digital image stabilization in the ZB-E10II. The side by side footage from the a6700 looked more _natural._ I suppose that could be my eyes tricking me because of the reduced crop, but I don't think so.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

I thought it was a bit more natural too

[@giusetup]

I am on a budget and currently owning a ZV-E10, I'll probably go for the MK2 due to my limited budget... otherwise I would pick the 6700

[@xile_hc]

Great review mate

[@sumangoswami2620]

Hi mark, great comparison. They should've included mechanical shutter at least at this price point 😢. Also is the a6700's 4k is 6k downsampled right? But the zve10 m2's is 5.6k downsampled. Is this a downgrade?

[@timchambers5242]

When more crop is used, it reduces the number of pixels to be processed & less time for rolling shutter. At 4K120p, the ZV-E10 II would overheat far fast than the a6700. They pick features they think the cheaper/different market segment can do without, especially the ones that can make manufacturing it cheaper. Compromises vs perceived value to upgrade. I wonder if they could sell the a6700 cheaper & save the bother of designing/supporting yet more models. Can they make the mic, EVF, screen & flash as modular add-ons so users pick what's important each day/hour to swap?

[@V-adventurous]

I have the zve1 but I want another camera for photos. I think the 6700 might be a good companion to my zve1.

[@TwoTimesRmedia]

Great video. The sign is definitely more visible.

[@ZIYADIALLO]

I always love your videos!!!

[@StirfriedGerman]

Is the lack of 10 bit processing a new "feature" of free Catalyst Browse or did it convert all my A7IV 10 bit footage to 8 bit and I didn't notice? Perfect comparison, thank you ! MkI vs MKII next? Definitely will watch !

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

it has always been converting it. But like I mentioned - looks fine to me

[@StirfriedGerman]

@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis Indeed I never noticed !

[@touhoutristy]

So clean 😌 Nice video 😀

[@deimees3828]

I’ve always wanted a camera. I was tempted to get the zve10. But put it off as it had already been out for a while so for the last 6 months I’ve been waiting for this. There is a lot of talk about videos etc. if I want a good camera for pics. How does the zve10ii do. A grand is a good price I could do.

[@Armin2208]

Nice video! Sony ZVE-10 II with IBIS or Alpha 6700 with the better microphone would be a perfekt combination.

[@BintHarun04]

I don’t see people talking about this,as a beauty creator will the zve10ii be better?? And what other lenses can the zve10ii take??

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

The zv-e10ii will be better because it has product showcase mode and other helpful beginner modes. It can take all sony e-mount lenses (there are hundreds!!)

[@OpticalProducciones]

I consider that this ZV-E10 MK2 does not have the same impact in quality/price ratio compared to its predecessor. That said, the 6700 is the undisputed queen of Sony's APSC range. I take this opportunity to ask you, does the 6700 also have dual ISO like the FX30 and if so, despite not having the Cinema EI function, can it work in flexible ISO with the same principles of dual ISO for this 800 & 2500 sensor? Thank you in advance for your response, greetings.

[@АндрейСмолин-е9ю]

Is it possible to use active stabilization and OSS from kit16502 on any Sony camera? I am wondering if using it on the original ZV-E10 will provide extra smoothness, as the electronic stabilization on that camera is pretty low. I am hoping that this new lens, together with Catalyst Browse, will enhance the stabilization to the level of the ZV-E1. The only terrible thing is the cropping, which becomes significant!

[@studyinthesky]

LOVED your video!!

[@lepyti]

My a6700 has been amazing! Only problem with it is that it overheats in about 45minutes, when filming 4k30 10bit 4.2.2 in a room where the temperature is about 23°C. But I rarely need to record for that long.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

If you have your camera open on a tripod with internal temp set to high and not connected to a HDMI monitor, you'll see your best results. If it still overheats in that environment, I recommend the Ulanzi cooling fan. Ulanzi fan: geni.us/SpringFan

[@lepyti]

@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis I think that is exactly how I use it. I'll double check the temperature setting tho. Ty

[@a.o.lartoflife8867]

Thank for your video about the zve10 mark II, I'm about to get one next month, but just want to ask you one more thing, which one have a better grip to hold ? a6700 or zv e10 mark II ?

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

Both really great, but I prefer the a6700 slightly. Deeper grip

[@LuiBox]

Hi Mark, I think I'll buy the ZV-E10 m2. I will use it in 4k 50fps. Which SD card do you recommend me? Thanks and keep going!! 🤗

[@S_G_86]

hi Mark thank you for this comparison it really helps to decide which camera to buy. I have one question , when you connect an external monitor through hdmi or through usb-c to a mobile phone (to use Monitor+ app as a monitor) does eye autofocus works in 4K-30/4K-60? I am asking it for both cameras. ZV-E10 supports up to 1080p and no possibility to use eye autofocus in 4K , I was wondering if any of these cameras support 4K with external monitor connected?

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

yea, these cameras keep eye autofocus connected to to monitors and the app

[@VortexStory]

Have you tried the overheating on USB-C streaming but at 1080p, 60 FPS? I would use this product for KZbin content creation "studio" mainly.

[@LJ_Tate]

I going for the A6700 because I already have the ZVE10 mark I
