Should you buy the Sony ZV-E10 or the A6400

[@glenklassen779]

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.

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

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? Like should I still get the "Sigma 16mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary Lens" or is that not compatible? Great video and I appreciate the help!

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

Yes the sigma 16mm will be great for youtube as well as phtopgraphy. It's what I will use when the ZV-E10 arrives. Just remember to get the Sony mount as they make it for more than one brand. amzn.to/3kdI4B1

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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

Both will do really well with a wide angle lens like the Tamron 11-20 2.8. But you will need a gimbal for smooth footage on the a6400 (or put it on a tripod). The ZV-E10 you can use catalyst browse software from Sony if you don't want to use a gimbal.

[@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 👍

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!!

Hi, sir! I'm a beginner in photography and videography. I have researched tons of cameras before buying my first camera and I came across one of your videos about Zv E10. I think it's a great camera for it's price and your love for it made me want to buy it (I subscribed to your channel then watched a few more videos about this camera and I absolutely love it!) however I am concerned about it's durability. I am pretty clumsy (The first time I brought my laptop at school, I accidentally dropped it at the restroom. I almost lost 10 lives because it was new and I haven't even used it yet 😭) The rolling shutter in Zv E10 is also bad and the camera isn't weather sealed. I am debating whether to get this or the a6400. The Zv E10 is around $714 with kit lens and the a6400 is around $839 with kit lens so that's the only ones that I can afford for that price range. I want a camera that is good at taking pictures and videos because I want to use it mostly at events and outdoors. I'm also interested in filmmaking and wildlife photography so both of these qualities are very important for me. I am planning to buy a gimbal so the stabilization is not that huge of a deal for me as well as camera lenses and nd filter to get that cinematic effect that I want. Which of these cameras will you recommend getting, sir?

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

I think the a6400 is the one for you. especially because of the wildlife photography. try to get one on sale or used because they will probably update it soon

From the comparison you make, it appears that the Sony a6400 does not have the gyroscopic data to use with Catalyst Browse software. I think it would have been better if you had mentioned this explicitly in the video.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

I did mention that. And it's written on the screen as well. I thought it was clear?

Which one would be better for shooting music videos?

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

ZV-E10

I want camera for Film Making not vlogging. And I think ZV e10 is little bit better. But I will miss the Sony A6400 better build and Weather Sealing.

[@mycdonalds2550]

Hey Mark! Was wondering if you could help me a little! I want to get my first camera ever for video and photo. I’ll mainly be doing video work (talking head, vlogs, etc) but I would also like to learn photography as well and take good photos! So the zve10 not having a viewfinder throws me off a little bit! But the a6400 not having some sort of stabilisation also throws me off as well and I’m not quite sure which one to go for anymore? Are gimbals a hassle to carry around? Which one should I go for in your opinion? Thanks so much if u see this!

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

the a6700 is the best if it's in the budget. If not, the a6400 would be best because of the EVF for photos. For video, you will have to use a tripod or a gimbal if you want to move. And the gimbals are a pain to the around. So what I would do is get a little selfie tripod and when you're out and about, set the a6400 down on the little tripod on a surface and then do your video.

[@EzenamiStudio]

Dude! Thank you! Best comparison I've seen and as mostly video person this settles it for me!

It is impossible to find the ZV-E10 camera overall out of stock. Does anyone know why?

There is a global chip shortage and unfortunately they cannot manufacture ZV-E10’s at this time. Hopefully it will be resolved soon, but production stopped in December.

Hi Mark.... Does Zve10 has focus peaking and Zebra... I heard that it doesn't have.. Not sure... Thanks for video 👍😊

@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis Actually, just watched more videos after yours and there are two very serious flaws. Rolling shutter and stability. Both are deal-breakers. I quit :( Thanks anyway for the awesome content.

[@thr6453]

@@noisackda2564 So what tou have decided?? Actually Rolling shutter and stabilization are A6400's flaws too ?? What are you buying now?

[@noisackda2564]

@@thr6453 I have a bunch of APSC glass so I might still get this. Either that or wait until next year. The issue is actually digital stability is making the rolling shutter worse. Instead of wavy footage, you are now getting jello footage. My Tamron 11-20mm is still coming so I might as well make the most of it. Then again A6600 has IBIS so that's an option as well, but that sticker price. At this point, I'm really regretting selling my ZV1 which I thought was an amazing camera for what it was.

[@thr6453]

@@noisackda2564 But atleast we are getting some sort of Stabilisation for some situations. But in A6400 we are not getting any stabilisation !! That is the point. I think this camera is better in terms of video features and it is cheaper than A6400 and a lot cheaper than A6600 whos stabilisation is not upto that mark. Also instead of digital stab, you can use Gyro data to stabilise in the post !!

[@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.
