Forgot the #1 benefit, zv-e10 has USB-C. Sony has no excuse for not including usb-c on the a6400 other than they had not emptied their truckloads of usb micro's that they bought in bulk with the non-touch screens they've been using since forever. I enjoyed this review, subscribed and ordered a zv-e10. Sony, next time send this guy a camera! Oh wait, were the ones who got the camera forced to say 'vlogging camera'? Seems to me they all had the same script? Could be a conspiracy? In fact even he had that script?

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

You’re right!! I should have mentioned the USB-C. It will be a major advantage to most people. Hopefully they can send me a camera to review next time. If you hear me say “vlogging” - know that I’m being held hostage 🤣🤣

[@asitpurohit_108]

But at the end of the day , after using the camera like 15 days , I would say , the camera is good for beginner with everything there like a mobile phone, you can change with just a button click , but the build is rubbish , plasticky , I don't like it , not so robust and rough and touch .....okay you will get good feature of camera but I don't think it's last for more than 2 year ....and it don't feel.tge taste of a camera, if you want to have cinematic b roll or trave cinematic video shoot , better fo with a6400 , and if you have live streaming , vlogging and such thing go for zv e 10 , it's a beast in that sense..

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

@Fitter met Clau Since I have made this video I have purchased the ZV-e10 and if you run the footage through catalyst browse - the ZV-e10 actually can work as a vlogging camera - check this video out kzbin.info/www/bejne/i4nbdpaco919pZY BUT if you don’t want to go through catalyst browse, a good vlogging camera would be the Olympus EM1 mark ii or the Olympus Em5 mark iii due to their excellent stability and autofocus

[@cesarpalmos8235]

The main reason is bandwidth and processing power. The 6400 uses an older processor and would not fully utilize USB-c. The ZV-E10 has their updated processor at the cost of battery life.

[@krisli273]

It's a tough decision. As an a6400 user, I've always been jealous of the new cameras that have gyroscopes. So I decided to switch the moment I saw the ZV-E10 has it. But now that you mentioned the build quality, I don't know if I should anymore.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

it is tough, because if you want that build quality and EVF, the a6400 is the way to go. The gyroscope data with catalyst browse is not a workflow that everyone loves, but some people swear by it to stabilize their footage. If the a6400 does everything you need - I would stick with it, but if you find it lacking because of the stabilization, then I can understand the switch. Look at your stores return policy - it may be possible to buy it and return it if it isn’t suitable.

[@gustavopaulette3496]

@@krisli273 did you keep the A6400 or upgrade to the ZVE10?

[@sandeepraiphotography2111]

I got the Sony zv-1 which also records gyro data and I can go to catalyst browse to stabilise. BUT is a pain in the backside doing that and it’s a bit of a waste of time I found. Initially did it a few times but it was slowing me down a lot especially if you are trying to stabilise most of the clips. Trust me, I did not enjoy it. But if you have time and patience it’s fine and it’s great at taking away the shake. But I would rather a gimbal or tripod as it’s a lot quicker and simpler.

[@henryt9731]

Hmm. I live in Hong Kong and went for the a6100 after comparing to the a6400. I ev doesn’t seem too much of a difference to me and the build quality doesn’t really bother me that much. That is if you plan to use it carefully, any build will do. Really.

Hm, super interesting. Had no clue about the ZV-E10! I'm mainly looking to upgrade my facecam setup for my youtube videos, but I'd also like something I can take some good pictures with. Looking at potentially getting into some real-estate photography/marketing stuff and I'd like to use the same camera as my YT setup. I don't know much about cameras though, so which lens would I want to go for if I was mainly looking at shooting facecam footage for youtube videos?

This is my first serious camera as I’ve just had point and shoot. A6400 just looks more solid and I’ll need an EVF to take photos. What program do you use to edit? Do you shoot in slow mo or slow the shot down in edit? Proper newbie to all this..

Sony suspended orders for both models and they are currently out of production due to chip shortages. So unless you can find a retailer who has one, they may not be available for a long time.

[@Robuilds_]

I’m so indecisive when it comes to finding a new camera. Maybe you can help! I’m going to VidCon this summer and want a camera to vlog with. But I also would use the camera as a facecam for my videos and to just film in general. I also like more cinematic video, not sure if that makes one camera stand out more than another. I’m stuck between the zv e10, zv1, and the G7x. For what I’m wanting to do, what do you think is best? And what would be a close second?

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

I would do the ZV-E10 followed by the ZV1. The autofocus is perfect on both and with what you're describing - you'll need autofocus. The G7x is not on the same level in that regard - or many other video regards, unfortunately

[@Robuilds_]

@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis thank you!

[@alanmckean]

Regarding the gimbal ... I have a lightweight Sony a5100, which is lighter than the ZV-E10. When I put my blogging lens of choice (Sony 10-18) on it, it's too front heavy for the Crane M2. There has to be a good balance between the weight of the camera and the weight of the lens. So, the ZV-E10 might work or it might not. I can't say since I don't have it, but it's not a given just because it's light. I also have an a6500 and an RX100 Mark V. The only camera that balances nicely on the Crane M2 is the RX100 (which it seems to have been designed for). I imagine the ZV-1 will work with it, too. Also, the 10-18 is not a power zoom so the zoom lever on the ZV-E10 won't work except for the in-camera zoom feature.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

Yes, thanks. Another commenter mentioned that the M2 may not hold - I can’t be sure because I have the original M1. I updated the description to say that people may want to opt for the Ronin SC. I personally would like to try the ZV-E10 with the pancake 20mm to see if at least that combination would work with the M2 👍

honestly for walking in the mountains or hiking a gopro or dji would be best. Their stability is so great and since it will be daytime - there will be plenty of light to make the footage look good.

The zv-e10 is the way to go. You can use catalyst browse to correct a lot of the rolling shutter. You can also shoot the ZV-e10 on 1080 and get good rolling shutter results. I don’t know if you can use any other system in Catalyst browse. It likely is Sony only

Interesting video Mark just what I was looking for. Do you think it will be better to wait for an actual a6000 successor with both features of the a6400 and ZV-E10 combined? I was hoping if Sony could release a hybrid of this 2 with the addition of 4K 120p / 60p with minimal or no sensor crop and finally a newer faster sensor & processing that eliminates rolling shutter. If it happens, the Camera will be the one I'm looking for! What do you think, too high of an expectation? It has been awhile since we've seen a new A6000 series introduced, so I hope there's a new model that's about to be introduced this year.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

I think when Sony finally updates the A6600 and a6400 it will have 4K 10bit and 4K 60p. that is just a guess and I have no idea when they might update the line. the A7iii is almost 2 years older than the a6600 and it still hasn’t been updated yet.

your video made me take the decision in favor of the ZV E-10. thank you for your input.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

It’s really great

[@JDsport1212]

Great video, I have a question. I got the A6400 but I'm looking for something a little smaller while on vacation cruising with carnival. Which would you suggest zv-e10 or the zv-1? Another option I thought about was just get a gimbal for the A6400.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

The ZV1 would be your best best out of the two for something smaller than the a6400. The zv-10 is a little smaller, but the z1 is tiny, and the lens retracts so you can literally stick it in your pocket

[@Carritube]

I would recommend the DJI pocket 2, its super portable , light, doesnt even look like a camera and has a gimbal built in and all much cheaper can the Sony zv1

[@trippin.n.flippin5676]

The whole ZV line is not going to be “that much” smaller than the a6400. If you really want super compact consider the RX100 line. I think they’re up to version 8 or so now and are really good.

It is a very capable camera yes. For filmmakers, I would also recommend a GH5. it is much more like a cinema camera. However, it does not autofocus well - so the Sony may be better for you

[@sanskarbajaj]

Hello mark ! I am looking for my first camera and very confused between a6400 and zv e10. I am not going to vlog with any of those, so the vlogging features doesn't really matter to me. I am really thinking about the build quality of the zv e10 as compared to a6400, and should I pay extra 20k for the build quality ? Can I keep zv e10 as the only camera I possess or is it not good enough to handle all the different lenses, in terms of the body and build ?

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

the a6400 is a better photo camera and built well. The ZV-E10 is a slightly better video camera, but if you want to do photos and video and you want a sturdy camera then go for the a6400.

[@sanskarbajaj]

You didn’t talk about the shutter wobble, if that is what it’s called. Does that get fixed with the Sony post shoot software you mentioned?

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

Rolling shutter will be the same on both. And yes, Catalyst Browse will mitigate it greatly. Check out my latest video where I did a stability test on the ZV-E10 - I mention the rolling shutter and show the fix with catalyst

[@caalinAbyan]

I will puy zv- e 10 . In dditting which app is better for those who using sony and new vlpggers?

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

Go with DaVinci Resolve. it’s free and overall the best. Watch some tutorials on how to get started.

[@malurt]

First off: Great content man. I don't know much about photography, but I'm finding myself binging your vids. Looking to get my first real camera (other than my osmo pocket and phone cam). I am intrigued by the price and the fun features of the ZV-E10. My photographer mate tells me to get the old A7 ii instead for that full frame goodness at the same price. "You can't take good pictures with that cropped sensor. If you wanna take photos, def go for the a7 ii instead" What's your take? I do want to be able to take some great photos, and I would also like the ability to record some videos.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

Of course you can get amazing shots with an apsc sensor, or a micro 4/3 sensor - I use those all the time. But I do prefer full frame when I want to get the best shots I can. The problem with the a7ii is that it shoots video in 1080 only - if you’re ok with that, then go for the camera. It won’t have the same amazing autofocus as the newer Sony’s, but you’ll still get good results. You may want to look at the A7Rii as it’s heavily discounted right now - it shoots 4K video and has 42 megapixels so you can really crop in on your images (bigger file sizes though). You may also want to look at the Canon RP as a full frame option. You’ll be able to take great pics and 4K video as well. So, in summary, for video, micro 4/3 and APSC are sensors I use all the time. But for photos, I go full frame.

@@malurt I’m glad!! That full frame look is awesome for sure. What lens do you have.

[@BernieHipos]

Good question Mark! But no, I won't be buying both haha... 😂 Since I don't have any E-mount lenses to begin with. I always look for any feature that will help me be efficient when I'm filming as well as features that I really like in a camera and the example would be a 4K60p. Can't really buy a new one without it anymore. What I really like about Sony cameras now a days is the amazing autofocus. If only Panasonic can do that, then I don't think I'm going to buy any other brand, but it's not set in stone though and definitely I'm not closing my door. Haha...

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

I close my doors to no cameras!! What you’re saying makes perfect sense because we can’t buy lens and cameras from every company (although it does appear that I am trying 🤣). But I am 100% buying that GH6!!

[@caldepen372]

Perhaps the background defocus is an advantage with speed of implementation? Also the disadvantages of VF and weather sealing are pretty large. Shame really. Can you add a viewfinder to the hot-shoe or something?

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

No - there's not really a way to add viewfinder. I think there's only one available and it costs as much as the camera.

[@pauljericklara3865]

Only Faruk of iPhonedo demonstrated Catalyst Browse on the new Sony ZV E10. I’m still wondering if the program can completely eliminate the rolling shutter.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

I was going to specifically mention Faruk as the best review I’ve seen of the ZV-E10. He really showed what the camera is capable of more than anyone else. It makes sense. He’s shot on a ton of apsc Sony cameras!!

It depends on how wide you want your lens. But the Sigma 16mm f1.4 for wider shots and the Sigma 30mm 1.4 for general purpose shooting. Those are linked in the description. If you want a zoom - look at the Tamron 17-28 2.8 or the Tamron 28-75 2.8

@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis thanks. So you would recommend the ZV-E10 over the A6400 or 6600?

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

@@ClearViewSolutionsMS if you are doing video only in good weather, then yes. But if you do a lot of photos, the viewfinder is really useful on the a6400 and a6600. Plus, they are more rugged and weathersealed.

[@sammyjensa]

Great video!! I was to buy a used a6400 mainly for video, now I don't know. Been using a go pro filming surfing on beach and in ocean, some home vlogging videos, doing tests and shooting some music videos. The 6400 feels more robust if filming a lot outside, filming surfing from the beach etc. but the ZV-E10 has more nice video features. What do you recommend for my purposes? Brg!!

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

The a6400 is better for a lot of outdoor work. Plus the ZV-E10 has supply issues and isn’t being manufactured right now.

[@fpsoundpacks]

Thanks for that detailed review of the ZV-E10. I was wondering if the autofocus is as fast and reliable as on the a6400? ZV-E10 uses "Eye detection" and a6400 "Double something..." Which one is better when it comes to autofocusing faces and low light situations? I spend three days now intensively searching for information between this two cameras but no one mentioned the differences between this two cameras when it comes to low light situations and autofocusing performance! Would be nice if you could help me out here

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

The autofocus on the ZV-E10 is the same as the a6400 except that the ZV-E10 has eye detect in video instead of just face detect. this makes the ZV-E10’s autofocus a bit better. It will also be a little better in lowlight autofocus. But the a6400 is great at autofocusing as well. If you take a lot of photos, the viewfinder of the a6400 is great to have. From a pure video perspective, the e-stabilization, the catalyst browse option, the eye detect in humans and animals in video, the flip-out screen - the ZV-e10 is the more compelling option.

[@fpsoundpacks]

@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis So it has eye and face detection? I read that the a6400 has an ISO value of "102400" compared to the ZV-E10 that has "51200". Does it make the a6400 the better 4k video cam for low light? As you said the ZV-E10 is better in lowlight focus? I'm confused. Maybe it's not true what I had read?

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

@@fpsoundpacks The ZV-E10 and the a6400 have the exact same sensor and processor so they will perform very similarly. The 102400 on the a6400 and 51200 on the ZV-E10 are extended iso and you cannot use them for video - it’s for photos. For video, they both have the native ISO range of 100-32000. And neither camera will vey useable anywhere near iso 32000. Having higher iso ranges does not mean better lowlight performance. It’s just the camera putting in digital gain to brighten the image. If you bump the iso too high - the image will be a mess. Both cameras will perform similarly in lowlight and autofocus with the Zv- e10 being a little better because of the updates made to the camera. Here is a good video on it kzbin.info/www/bejne/b6CmZHR8pdp-hqc

[@fpsoundpacks]

@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis Ah dude, thank you so much for clearing all things up to me! Headache is over and i made a decision. I think i don't need a viewfinder "now" so i just ordered the ZV-E10. Way better Autofocus in low light and less "Matrix" color shift to higher ISO's as the other video dude shows :) Thanks for your help, you have one new follower!
