[@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.

[@AF99499]

Hello Mark! Awesome video as always! I currently have the ZV-E10 (version 1). Do you think it’s a good idea to upgrade to the A6700? What camera would you recommend after the ZV-E10 V1?

[@Tahio76]

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

Sorry to hear about your ZV-E10!!

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

Hi Mark, you just keeping me advising the new camera’s and options for my vlogs! Many thanks!!!

[@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.

[@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? 🤔

[@frankfeng2701]

The correct launch price for ZV-E10ii under the current spec should have been $850, although I still think they intentionally cut too many corners that won't necessarily save them much cost.

This is the only points that I think mark ii misses a bit. But looking at ZV1mii launch price is already heavy but horrendous features, I think it is also because of current's economic performance. Though I wish it was more affordable as people bought mark i one of it because of its affordable price.

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 😁

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

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?

[@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.

I bought my E10 mk1 half a year ago. I love it but I was prepared to buy the mk2 when it shows up.

[@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.

BTW, how do you set up the A6700 (or maybe the RX100 VII) to do Product Showcase and apply it to a custom button? It is only Product Showcase that keeps me with the ZV-E10, and if there is a practical way to achieve it on the A6700 I would jump ship to the camera with the EVF.

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.

@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis Thank you, just watched your other video comparing ZV-E10ii to the FX30 in low light. I think that says it all there. Thank you again for the help.

[@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.

[@bondgabebond4907]

Wow, you really laid it out well. I have the a6700 and A7R3. Did have the ZV-E10 but gifted it to my grandson. The a6700 is not only the jack of all trades, but it masters most of the trades like a pro. I am extremely satisfied with the a6700. It really is a joy to use. And with that AI chip, I am happily doing macro photography in my back yard, pestering little crawlies and getting deep into the buds of my fruit trees. If a photographer can 'cough' up the extra money, I would recommend the a6700 by a longshot. Conclusion, it's a photographer/videographer's dream.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

It's their best value camera to me for sure

[@bondgabebond4907]

@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis I just posted 4 photos of a bee on my little plant, very colorful on flickr. I was using the Sony 90mm macro with the a6700. Incredible quality. It was quick and dirty so I didn't enlarge or crop. 'Redcrow1949.'

@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis Now that something bad happened in my country, just south of you, President Trump was hit in the ear by a bullet, I am going to let you go and not comment on anything. I'm shifting gears. I'm upset. I'm shocked. I love your show, you are a hoot. And I hope you keep pumping aps-c and all the goodies in photography.

A6700 is not masters of all , it has a 15ms rolling shutter and mediocre lowlight capability. The z6iii does 6k60 with 9ms of rolling shutter , the a7s3 has 12800 usable iso , the a7rv is 62mp. The a6700 is a master of none BUT quite profficient in most

[@bondgabebond4907]

@@JJARCHIE You assume I do video. No. I do stills and a lot of macro photography. That is where this camera excels. Mark is heavy video, so people assume we all are engaged in making videos. There are a lot who love photography/stills. So, I appreciate your views, but you are way off target. If I was heavy into videos, I would be using different equipment. Realize the images from the a6700 are very good, good enough to make poster size prints. I, unfortunately, don't really care for videos. Not my bag. Oh, I have been shooting stills since 1972 and I have a ton of film (B&W and color) yet to be scanned.

[@Iron_Acker]

Your review from the ZV-E10 II is the best in the whole world I've seen! It is better than Jareds, in my opinion! If you have the chance to get the Fuji X-T50, I am really looking forward to a compression with the Z-VE10 II!

[@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.

[@ivanshafiq2915]

is the Auto-Focus performance same ? between the 2 camaras ?

[@hensetube]

Not the same. But still one of the best AF Systems out there for apsc in the Sony lineup.

[@Bbmprodutions]

Are the cooling fans a good investment for an A7 lV or better yet Sony Cameras generally speaking

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

they're great for the Sony's.

[@Bbmprodutions]

@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis thanks so much it’s my very first camera , you were extremely helpful in making a decision couldn’t decide between the A7 lV or A 7cii , thanks again , your vids are awesome

[@fabianlehr4318]

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.

[@angeldc54]

Thank you Mark Another advantage of the 6700: uncompressed RAW, which in low light or astrophotography is a must. Of course that only makes sense for photography. Cheers.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

thanks for mentioning

[@babajaiy8246]

E10 mark II doesn't shoot uncompressed RAW stills?

Sony zve10ii vs Sony a6400. Which one is good for photography, and little bit Videography?

[@JJARCHIE]

A6400

[@AnthonyDesmond]

man oh man... I've had my first cam for almost a year, Cannon r100 and seriously thinking about switching to the a6700.

[@OnRoy]

If I will buy a6700 what is the best budget lense less than 400bucks?

[@officialcisko]

Would you consider the a6700 an upgrade to the a7iii? I prefer full frame but the a7iii is just missing so many useable features for video that both of these cameras have.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

It's an upgrade in video, but photos I still prefer full frame overall. If you can swing it, the A7CII sounds perfect for you

[@officialcisko]

@@MarkBennettCameraCrisisthank you. I’m just in search of a B Cam for video so I’ll be sure to use your affiliate link if I decide to purchase the 6700.

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.

[@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.

[@garageworker]

What are we getting for a $300 price increase? A parts bin battery and an already few year old sensor? They took the shutter? Didn’t give us the AI auto focus chip. It’s a glorified web camera, A6700 is the only way to go.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

I summed up my thoughts in the conclusion

[@DespotRus]

I'd much rather pick up a quality web camera than using this for any kind of video streaming.

[@Blockrocko]

I use my ZV for 50/50 stills and video, and was really excited for the mk2. Unfortunately they got rid of the mechanical shutter which makes it a complete no-go for my kind of work. If I had the money, I would've gotten the a6700, but I don't, and I also don't need a viewfinder as I'm using an external monitor 90% of the time. Too bad...

It’s obvious Sony wanted to create something to keep the Mark 1 selling and upsell the a6700, but man they did such a great job with the 6700 that it feels like it’s a more long term worth it product
