Should You Buy The Sony ZV-E10 in 2024?! | Sony ZV-E10 Review

[@lilmiss_jean]

I just had one today to start my vlogging again after 1 yr. Thank you for this video it's great!

[@AJayTheStageArtist]

Im newbie in Camera,Just bought ZV E10 today❤...love it so much

[@SightseeingStan]

Good choice!

[@bondgabebond4907]

Good review. I got the ZV-E10 just for fun, and that means going to birthday parties, holidays and going places where I don't want to carry a heavy camera, like my A7R3. Once you get the camera, you will realize it is more than the sum of its parts. Also, for an extra $100, get that kit lens. It will come in handy, especially in daylight at the park, city, anywhere.

[@SightseeingStan]

Glad you liked the video! 🙌

[@juandavidgrisales8250]

Then, wouldn't it be better a phone ? Bearing in mind it is just for fun... I mean ; I m deciding to buy a cam and I m keen on this reference but..... My issue is a good smart phone or this cam ? ...I want to have pictures from my family and places

[@nyohaku]

I bought it a year ago for video in the studio, but eventually started taking stills and the photos are amazing. It’s too small in the hands so I got a cage for a sure grip. It now has a full frame Sigma I-series lens with an aperture ring. Best camera/lens I’ve had and the price was right. But make sure you study that manual. Good informative review, especially because you bring up the negatives for this product. Kudos.

[@nikhilgupta091]

It's a great camera for its price and footprint. May not be adequate for professionals but for beginners and everyday usage it packs a stellar performance. I have been using it for travel photography the past year, fully satisfied.

[@Nobuhle_Omuhle]

As a start-up content creator, this was very helpful. Thank you for your 2 cents opinion 😄. I'm definitely getting one for myself as I'm on a tight budget, it should get the job done 😁. It's quiet pricey this side ($799 here in South Africa) so I'm sure the alternatives have skyrocketing prices.

[@SightseeingStan]

Happy to hear it was helpful! Best of luck with your creator journey! 👍👍

[@xhenriquefps]

I have a ZV-E10 and i love it! I use it mostly for photos, but i'm hoping to learn more about video this year. I wish I could get an A6700, but in reality the ZV-E10 is more than enough for me.

[@dercharmeur5903]

I've had the ZV E10 since it was introduced. Out of curiosity I bought the 6700 and tested both cameras with the Sigma 56 1.4. I didn't see any differences in quality in the photos. I sent the 6700 back.

[@yannlmao6503]

Greatest video that i've seen of this camera yet, thanks!!!

[@SightseeingStan]

Glad you liked it!

[@starwaves1993]

If your using the cheap camera as a B camera and a C camera why not just use it as a primary camera? I mean no one will be able you tell the difference not even a professional. It’s not like we are dealing with Charlie Chaplin film camera or some really old digital camera from the early 2000. We are talking about modern sensor. I think nowadays it’s more about lenses and talent.

[@vivekvishal9782]

I agree with this statement 🤌

[@cs.ujjawalpahwa]

Hi is it a good choice to buy it today? Though Sony ZV e10 II has launched but not in India though

[@mattlau]

Nice review, but Sony advertises this as the Interchangeable-lens VLOG camera. There is no need for the EVF for those who use it for its intended purpose: vlogging. People want too much in entry-level camera these days. If you truly need an EVF, then you need to shell out more money for the Sony RX100vii. The ZVE10 for under $1000 CAD is amazing value and still a great choice today.

[@TBills3000]

I use my ZVE10 for photography. Ive had it for about a year now. Its good but I really want to go full frame. Hopefully I can this year

[@SightseeingStan]

Nice! 🙌

[@saxophonicmusician]

I ended up getting the Sony ZVE10 switching from owning a Canon RP with it's kit lens for 2 and a half years (ended up also affording the Sigma 30 mm 1.4 prime lens with the sell). Gotta say it's a very compact but nice camera, I do like the color science from the Sony more than the Canon, not sure why I didn't get it sooner! Thanks for the review.

[@vgee3926]

Thinking about making the same exact switch..only lens I have for the RP though is the 50mm 1.8

[@camiloroman]

I’m a newcomer when it comes to the camera world, have had one for about a week and to be honest, I am loving it so far! Continuing to learn new techniques and finally attempting manual change of inputs!

[@minhvisual4265]

I always use the screen on mirrorless camera because of better battery draw then EVF. The EVF will kill your battery way faster. The Autofocus is already amazing so you really just need to focus on compositing the shot. I don't see the benefit on using the EVF unless it's super bright outside which is rarely the case. Back before mirrorless I'd use the eye viewfinder to save battery but now EVF just use more battery than the LCD screen so it's really no point. The articulation is much more useful for photography than the EVF because it can help you get high and low angle much better.

[@TheMaan2008]

Duude, some of the cons are the reason I didn’t like the camera & sold it & got the ZV-E1! Only had the camera for 11 months. There were other reasons I upgraded though, of course. 7:54 Right?? Preach! 🙌🏼 Dude

[@bigjohntechreviews4807]

Great review update. I have had my ZV E10 for about 6 months now and it's awesome. I enjoy your content and it helps me out with settings since I'm new to a true camera and just not a cellphone camera. Thanks again Stan 👍

[@SightseeingStan]

Great to hear! Glad you liked the video 🙌

[@dorukyalcinsoy]

Lens is super important though. Yesterday my friends S23 beaten my kitlens on low light zoom situation. Kit lenses suck at low light, worse then smaller mobile cams.

[@dorukyalcinsoy]

but it's great when you are able to control the lights

[@seraptekin7144]

hello, I'm torn between two cameras and I need your help. Canon EOS R50? Or Sony Alpha ZV-E10L? What will I use it for? I will shoot both day and evening during camping shoots, I will also shoot videos with DJI RS 3 Mini so that there is no shake, I will also shoot drinks and food in cafes, I will buy it for my work. I don't know which one will be more useful to me.

[@SightseeingStan]

Glad you liked the video 👍

[@gedibear]

Thanks for such a comprehensive review - I have just been recommended this camera and am on the way to check it out in-store, but I have one question that I was unable to find the answer to: I am planning on using it mostly to use as a second camera for auxilliary shots when making music videos but as a main camera for filming gigs from onstage (drum kit content) - how would it handle live audio? And, is there an option for an external mic, as I would be worried about sound distortion? finally, given the camera would be placed on the stage and mostly capturing drums is an additional lense a must buy or just a more useful option to have? Thank you.

[@dami4944]

Got my zve-10 on marketplace brand new for $380 i was shocked the person actually showed up and let me have it for that price.

[@SightseeingStan]

Nice, thats a good deal 👍

[@cre8taMilt]

I have this cam, and the lack of EVF is nonsensical especially if you use a screen hood, or the IEM app for these things. Also, best case use for SLog 3 is at night, that way you can get more from the sensor. This is why you overexpose. Studio shots, aren't meant for Slog profiles.

[@annibrnds]

made me smile to realise some of those pictures were captured in germany, especially the "weinlädele" (: thank you for the video

[@PilotLH]

This body and the Sony 11mm 1.8 lens is just such a perfect combination!

[@kishoreraman701]

Sony zv e10 or Canon r50 which is best

[@zachiga]

Late reply, but after looking at all of the options, R50 is a downgrade and E10 does almost everything better in both photo and video according to owners.

[@geometerfpv2804]

It's crazy to me that people treat the digital stabilization as a bad thing. It looks almost exactly like a gimbal, and with no extra hardware. It's pretty incredible. Sony IBIS doesn't get anywhere near that level of stabilization, it looks very similar to OSS. The digital stabilization is much, much better. I don't know why people act like its a downside, its the main reason to get this camera. The next camera up with a gyro is the 6700 which costs more than twice as much. IBIS is a photography feature. It does not adequately stabilize video. You need digital anyway, in which case you would need to disable IBIS, so it's kind of a useless feature for video.

[@ChessFluency]

What is a good desk mount for the Sony ZV-e10?

[@defylifeadventure]

I think for me if Fuji had gyro data output for their video files, I'd use something like a XT3 (old now), XS10 (more expensive) or similar.

[@atticusark]

Yes, and Yes! You can't go wrong with this.

[@MattLong101]

One of the best cameras ive ever owned, i gave it to my brother and i miss it everyday

[@quv2035]

Then just get another one?

[@CaleMcCollough]

S-Log3 works better on ZV-E10, you just have to know how the Log conversion works in Davinci Resolve, and you can export that LUT to OBS. For green screen S-Log3 works perfectly. If you have a bright sky with dimly lit area, you will get color banding, but if you are in a studio you can cut off all of those outdoor light values and use S-Log3 and it's about 9-bit, which will works great for green screen.

[@geometerfpv2804]

You are basically saying "as long as you don't have a shot with a wide dynamic range, you can use this feature whose purpose is to be able to capture a wide dynamic range". You kind of have to face the fact that the idea of log is to compress the captured data into a smaller band, and if your digital storage doesn't have enough bits to store that data in a compressed way, you aren't going to be able to expand it back out in post. It just fundamentally doesn't work. You can't increase the number of bits used to store color data on the card, it is a property of the hardware.

[@CaleMcCollough]

@@geometerfpv2804 You mean High Dynamic Range. Wide Dynamic Range is an exposure trick where you take one picture with low exposure and another with high explore and average the pixels. 8-bit log is 8-bits, but it's as good as 10-bit SLog, it's LIKE 9 bits of dynamic range. It's not a property of the hardware, all of that stuff is software, even if it has a hardware encoder. All of it can be done and is one in software. With log you can chose to expose to the left or expose to the right, or expose to the center. You can either capture the shadows and lose the highlights or vice versa, or you can lose some of the shadows and some of the highlights.

[@HellaChluy]

Zv e10 rolling shutter is terrible. Sold it and replaced it with the a6700. The osmo pocket 3 is better then the zv e10

[@christaoo4347]

What’s the easiest camera to use with the best quality for content creating and small vlogging ?

Does this have the overheat problem ? Also is there a limit for video length ?

I purchased this camera a year ago, and I’m still digigin’ on it. Thanks for the recap on this wonderful little camera. 🍻

[@SightseeingStan]

Great to hear! Glad you enjoyed it 👍

[@darsanvikas]

The main downside to the zv e10 is the lack of ibis.

[@SightseeingStan]

Yea would definitely be better, but that would most certainely have increased the price of it...

[@geometerfpv2804]

IBIS doesn't do much of anything for video. You really need digital stabilization, in which case you would turn off IBIS anyway. Look up a comparison video of video shot with Sony IBIS vs OSS vs. digital. IBIS and OSS look almost exactly the same, digital looks like a gimbal. IBIS is a photography feature: it makes zoomed photos or photos at slower shutter speeds come out sharp. It does not stabilize video in any significant way.

[@nizamhuzain]

what is the kitlens? how is the output? does it have enough depth?

[@SightseeingStan]

It's a 16-50mm f/3.5-5.6 I would say it's basic. But really depends on what you want to do.

[@plywoodpalaceToddTouchberry]

Do i have to order a separate lense or just the way it comes?

[@DeSalvoLaw]

It is a great camera, even these days, and with the lower price, its great.

[@SandipanChaudhuri]

I am primarily a Nikon user from time of film and currently using Z6 Mark II. I am looking for a budget a camera to record Concert Shoots or conference shoot where I need a continuous recording i.e. should not manually intervene every 30 minutes. And Camera will be primarily put on a tripod. Initially I was thinking of a Camcorder but the 1/2.3” sensor size is not worth. I have rarely used an APS-C sensor. Definitely it can’t outperform a Full Frame or Medium Format sensor but how good it can perform in a low light condition compare to a Camcorder like Panasonic HC-VX1 or iPhone 15 Pro Max type positioned a Tripod or a gimbals.

It’s an awesome camera but be careful. Had mine for less than a year and out of nowhere it just stopped working. Won’t turn on or anything. Was great while it lasted though.

[@frogcubes]

ima get dji osmo pocket 2 or 3, bc its cheaper and it uses a small gimbal to stabilize so no jitters when you are in low light. the zv e10 is a very good option, but im new to cameras and im still flabbergasted what the "budget" options are!!! do you think its an ok choice to just get an action cam? the dji pocket 2 and 3 have similiar image quality, and its better for vlogging. Thoughts? Thanks!!! (im not trying to be rude btw, just curious!)

Honestly, I'd rather have a camcorder since it's basically for video recording minus the battery life issues. Too bad Sony hasn't updated many of it's consumer camcorders. I do hope to see at least one with ZV or FX features crammed into a smal portable camcorder.

Hard to tell... a gimbal doesn't compensate up down. As in if you're walking, you still need to minimize the impact of your steps as these will still show.

EVF is better for framing without getting worried about glare or others around. It's a good way of making sure your photos and videos are in line with your framing.

[@jaredalbin5658]

​@@joelconolly5574 on the other hand its too conspicuous...hold a camera up to your face...people will notice. Bad for street photography or trying to not stick out. Using the screen you can hold the camera lower down, point the screen up at you. No one can tell if you are just reviewing your pics or taking a picture. Also - if you are taking family photos - how can you get a child to look at you and smile when you have a big camera blocking your entire face...they can't see your eyes or your mouth. How will they know to smile? THere are lots of pros to not using an EVF. As far as framing...the screen can have rule of 3rds grid lines on it. What more do you need to frame a shot?
