[@CanadianSyed]

I came here after watching your video where I nearly pressed the buybutton...and then this LOL so gotta wait bit 😂

[@JasonVong]

I F-ROCKING hate it

[@felixmaidhof142]

@@JasonVong Would'nt you check your framing anyway before hitting the record button? If you realise you are zoomed in, just undo it and then start recording. Can't really see the big problem here.

[@rzimbauer]

@@JasonVong is the zoom rocker the same as on the fx30?

[@Zdenek_Houdek]

I disagree that 10 bit 422 is only for color effects. I use FX30 and always record video with these parameters. I don't always hit the white balance and exposure compensation. And it is these parameters that give you room for corrections - for example, when you enter a space illuminated by yellow light and you don't have time to weigh the white light. No, you can't do magic with it, but you can move it to much nicer colors without it falling apart.

[@qq_02]

Bingo. IBIS was the main thing that was expected from Mark II as the more expensive cameras were getting it. Without IBIS, this is just a casual refresh that doesn't justify the added price. Almost half of the Mark I price added on top just for the 10-bit colour and 4k60 and the new UI that SHOULD BE BACKPORTED TO OLDER DEVICES as a software update. For a customer, I recommend Mark I or 6700.

[@KiraOmori]

I’m really frustrated that the touchscreen is pretty much useless on the Mark I :( I wish there could be a software update that fixes it, but I highly doubt it. Might be UI and better utilization of the touchscreen are things Sony would decide that sets the Mark II from the Mark I.

[@dennisgoingplaces]

Not having IBIS is too much of a dealbreaker to me as well. Was on the fence of buying the a6700 or the ZV-E10II, but waited for the official specs. Long story short, just ordered the a6700!

[@denis_foguenne]

haha I bought the a6700 2 weeks ago, I was stressing about having made the wrong choice but I finally did well here :) the a6700 is so good !

[@AOSRoyal]

These cameras are two completely different price categories and target audience. You’re comparing the wrong cameras

[@michaelbell75]

You are never going to get a sub $1,000 camera with IBIS, especially from Sony.

Because of the ibis I'm considering A6700 now. But the thing is,I always shoot videos with a tripod so I guess I'm getting the zve10 ii. Oh my! I don't know which one to get. Hahahahaha

[@NEUTRALIZED15]

Check the rolling shutter issue and see if its as present in 6700 as in the ZvE10, GL !

[@BrainstechKnowlogy]

Es la mejor reseña de esta camara que encontré. Vas directo al grano y das la informacion que uno desea escuchar. Muchas gracias.

[@simoz78]

Are IBIS and OSS really useful for walking/vlog videos? My fx30 is unusable for walking video hand-held anyway. My zv-e1 with electronic stab is better (even if stll far from an acrtion camera stab)

[@Miamotomusashii]

you can't go wrong with jason vong ❤

[@MrHoangMum]

if you use S&Q mode, you can push the camera to 4k 120fps :)

[@sergiosala]

The TikTok ban explosion had me laughing, good one Jason! I'm sticking with A7C ii tho..

[@go0ot]

Excellent video on lack of ibis & cropping & oss lenses to remedy, thanks.

[@thepan]

I can't go wrong with Jason Vong. But the pricing of the camera says "my wallet doesn't belong".

[@JasonVong]

🤣🤣🤣

[@GLJKins]

The Sony A6500 and 16-50mm lens is a better choice for performance and money. I love my A6500 and I have owned many, many cameras. High-end and consumer cameras.

[@BlueHawk80]

just because you own it dorsnt mean its great. Actually the 6500 is pretty old by now, even the 6400 is better aside from IBIS, let alone the 6600/6700.

[@endgamefond]

for videos better?

[@angeldc54]

It's as easy as this: you get an affordable zve10 mark 1, or a capable a6700.

[@davidgapp1457]

So $700 for a e10 with 16-50 lens plus kit, or nearly $1500 for a body-only camera. I think I'll just use my gimbal stabilizer mount on the e10....

[@DM-br7vt]

Oooooo when I was in Tokyo in May. I saw you filming. I guess u were testing this camera

[@nikkop]

No IBIS is okay as long as it came with deez LUTs.

[@Oddish08]

100% agree with the zoom rocker!! I did this literally yesterday on my ZV-E1 for an entire video shoot :(

[@JasonVong]

Nooooo!

still sticking with saving up for the a6700 .. its just more well rounded than the zve10 ii

[@lfcruzsierra]

[@harryvuemedia5106]

E10ii is more of a vlogging camera. It's meant to replace your smartphone

[@lfcruzsierra]

@@harryvuemedia5106 That a hard sell with no IBIS. I would even get a DJI Pocket 3 before this for vloggling.

[@coryosborne3937]

Great review! I recently upgraded from my starter camera (the ZVE-10) to the a6700. When I heard about the mark II I was worried I might have jumped the gun- some of the initial predictions about the mark II made ir seem as if it might've trumped the upgrade to the 6700 (which I absolutely love, btw).Awesome to see it upgraded, but it's good to know I'm not really missing out on anything (plus I have IBIS, yo!). Love your channel!

[@Chaelaz]

Oh, and I would love for you to do a BTS of you creating one of these VLOGs, from planning and production and camera setup/settings to post. Would be interesting to see your process.

[@97nelsn]

Wowee, a new Vong Drop 🤩

[@SilatShooter]

Not enough here for me to part with my money. Thanks for the video!

[@priitmolder6475]

This camera is targeted towards entry level streaming. In that term, its an amazing upgrade. Apart from overheating issues with Gen 1 cameras, the Mini-HDMI connector is notoriously fragile on Sony cameras, which led to constant disconnects. Would have wished to see a segment how the USB-C cable has fixed this

[@fhajovan]

You can wrong..love that slogan sir love it enjoyed your video have a great rest of your day... lol THERES NO IBIS i needee that laugh

[@unquestionabletv]

Definitely wondering about the overheating. Recording a podcast with the version 1 dies after 1.25hrs and overheats about the same while charging even when using high sensitivity

[@nikkop]

Thanks for the review with genuine insights!! And really amazing alternative recos. Still a great cam, and for sure will still be a hit for some, but gotta do a lot of work around without that IBIS.

[@johnashcroft-jones6091]

Hey JayVee, You first sentence got me typing. Been following you for years and love the show. I'm 75 and switched from Leica lllrd with f1,2 Summicron (lux?) via a spotmatic and Sony a7r+a6000, and YES, I HATE TICKTOCK AND that dreadful portrait format as default. Thanks and keep up the great show!

[@JasonVong]

Haha glad you took it lightly! It's all in good fun! Enjoy the Leica x Sony combo!

[@GabrielNg]

Such solid content lately brother! Watching start to finish at 1x speed

[@MusiTechOfficial]

The Mark ii is completely changed from the baby ZVE10, the new grip, bigger battery, fulltouch display, more practical features and lot more, the older model was super powerful too instead of just vlogging, the Mark ii will be a powerhouse and upgrade on the previous e10💪🏻❤️‍🔥

[@chicoroze5138]

I just picked up the 6700 a few weeks ago and seeing people say the 6700 is a better choice makes me feel good bout my choice.

[@punto360reviews]

it is work for realstate video? im planning buying this + a very good wide angle lense, which would you recommend?

[@jonsf]

unless the $400 difference is a big deal for you, i dont think theres a compelling reason to not get the a6700 over this unfortunately without ibis /:

[@hasenmyer]

the zoom rocker on the ZVE1 was the absolute deal breaker for me. I just couldn't get past it. the only solution was a cage, which defeated the purpose of a small camera.

[@g1g1.]

Should I get a6400 or pay extra 250£ and get zv-e10ii? I’m doing both vlogging and photography, and planning on buying gimbal

[@EsenbekAliev_]

so basically this isn't for photos? What should I get in the same price point from Sony for photos?

[@MadHatterMedia]

How did you get your A6700 shutter to stay down? @23:30

[@BrianTheCameraGuy]

Nice job Jason. Not having IBIS is such a deal breaker. Aps-c cameras keep coming otlut but no real attention to the lenses.

[@AstroTwist]

Yess apsc camera launch every 2-3 years gap but doesn't have good apsc lense and almost all apsc lense is more than 4-7 years old That's why lens sharpness is not as good as full frame equivalent focal length lenses because full frame lenses upgrade every 2 and 4 years ❤❤❤ every company need to focus on their apsc lenses before launching the apsc camera

[@DigiDriftZone]

I think this makes a great B cam for the ZV-E1 :)

[@alfredbass]

Daaaamn That's Luts!

[@skygarden]

no mechanical shutter is a dealbreaker for still photography with most led lighting. I found that banding with the old zv-e10 went away when i turned off electronic and silent shutter. i use the first version with adapted vintage lenses and a focal booster to get (almost) full-frame field of view as an excellent budget still camera that does great video. There were compromises for a $6-700 camera, mostly with the options and ui, but this new version with electronic shutter only would be a downgrade for me as a mostly still photographer who does some video.

[@nyohaku]

This seems to be well thought out camera and nicely placed in their lineup. It solves most of the issues I have with the original, but keeping the dim screen may be a dealbreaker for me. You can forget about still photography on a sunny day at f4. But fast primes can turn it into a workable hybrid. EVFs can be pricey.

[@catalin-ap]

Always appreciate it when big camera reviewers like yourself are honest about a camera, and don't just say "it's the best of the best" even when it's not. So yeah, the lack of IBIS, lack of mech shutter in a "also-photo" camera, and $999 price, can make it a tougher choice for some people. While the updated menu, touchscreen, vertical shooting, 10bit, and especially the bigger battery (double the capacity) are great things.

[@GUNPLAOFEL]

I have owned the A6700 for 3 months I am happy with it has all my needs. Anyway, I was curious of the ZV-10 II as I expected the price the features are improved 10bitt, 4k60 but without IBS, Shutter dials, and no mechanic shutter. I knew, they limited the ZV line because, if it has all the features you should probably pay more than the normal. The ZV-E II is a good camera for new beginners for making films, photos, and vlogs. I'm not a vlog guy but if you wanna vlog In my opinion use the DJI 3 wide lens, easy to carry around.

[@bill0g]

This might be a dumb question but what’s the harm of just leaving the product showcase mode on for the whole shoot? Especially if you know that you will be showing products here and there?

[@eric-seastrand]

The square frame that appears on older Sony cameras during clear image zoom is to indicate that it can’t do tracking auto focus anymore. That’s what I thought anyway.

[@RedBaronGarage]

How about a comparison between the MK1 and MK2 16-50? your second rant was about no ibis and no new OSS lenses but the zv-e10 II comes with a new OSS II 16-50 lens? would be nice to see a comparison as no review yet has really mentioned it! :D

[@deimees3828]

I was very tempted to get the zve10ii as been waiting a year since seeing the mark 1. But the Ibis is a bit meh. And the 6700 is also weather sealed. So a bit of rain. I won’t be lost

[@h.o.j2375]

It’s a great camera but why no EVF 😢 it’s going to suck shooting in bright daylight, you won’t see anything you shoot properly due to the low resolution of the screen. They’ve really made this camera for self vlogging indoors only😅

[@kevindavis1484]

that intro hurt youngblood.. respect your elders LOLLL

[@priyankumodi]

Screen brightness to Sunny Weather is also available in earlier version. I use it all the time.

[@JasonVong]

Yes but sadly disabled when shooting in 4K 😭

[@maddybaliga]

That vertical side tripod mount is a no brainer really.....adding a cage to a 370g camera just kills the whole point

[@davidgapp1457]

For stabilization I use a high end gimbal stabilizer mount. Advantage that I can transfer to my other cameras (or even my phone with an adapter). Now excuse, me it's waaay past my nap time. I am 68 years old and need my nap time.

I have the 6700, I’m here to laugh with your humor, keep it up

[@braden7936]

At 12:10 when its talking about CineVLOG where the clips of the city recorded on the ZVE 10 - II or on a different camera?

[@JasonVong]

Recorded with ZV-E10 II

[@youuuuuuuuuuutube]

Only issue is overheating. If you only shoot short 4k60 clips (less than 15min) then it's a fine camera. Stabilization is good enough even if it's software only.

[@an_o_ia]

the new body looks so much more black😍

[@shahabh2108]

So in a nutshell, cripple hammer has hit this canera too hard which I'm not sure it can survive! And guess what? It has a $400 price bump too!

[@arberdemiri]

The price increases with little improvements (and big handicaps) seem to be a common trend.

[@iPhonedo]

I can't believe how insanely different our overheating tests are.

[@Goxilla]

Gerald Undone said it would overheat after 22 mins at 4k 60fps in ideal conditions (indoors). The overheating is currently the only issue for me to not buy that camera and you are telling me it doesn´t overheat. I´m so confused now

[@zenworldo]

I agree with going with a6700

[@mrphraner]

i was waiting for this to be my camera i learn on, but ill probably just buy the A6700 and wait for mark 3 hopefully with ibis and a viewfinder

[@MollyFitzBrown]

Bigger battery... oh yeah! I'm thinking of picking this up for a lighter option and for the high MP pictures (than the zve1). A zoom warning would be nice! Hope they're watching your video ;) I have accidentally recorded slow motion with NO audio too (on my ZV1M2), nice it's a switch! IBIS missing is too weird! NOW I'm leaning towards the a6700... the apsc lenses make the whole setup so much lighter...

[@JasonVong]

Hi Molly, are you still enjoying the ZV-E1?

[@MollyFitzBrown]

@@JasonVong sure am, got the 16-25 f2.8 G lens recently and love it (though I also got the Pocket 3 and have been loving it as a tiny on the go vlog cam too). But would still like a slightly lighter option at times with top quality and more MPs for photos...

[@iTomSawyer]

Ibis is the deal breaker, I will get 6700 instead 😅

[@good_morning504]

Based on your test with the Laowa 9mm, I can guess that the Active Stabilization now works quite well with third party lenses... Does it?

[@bradl2636]

Well over a year ago I suggested folks go grab the old 10-18mm f4 OSS and/or the 16-35mm f4 OSS Zeiss. Good luck today. Prices already moving on eBay.

[@Chaelaz]

I've loved my ZV-E10 and was interested in the Mark II for a second, just to have. But not for over a 30% increase. Just need to be patient for a decent used FX3 still and jump on the FF train. Time = more saved $$$. Cheers.

[@JonathanWillis]

Over here in the UK on Amazon it was £429 for Mark I, and at Wex photography the mark II is £925! The price difference is way off.

[@KamalsLens]

[@marinrealestatephotography]

Sony does some great things with their camera. I wish that EVERY camera manufacturer had power zooms and rocker switches on the bodies, and my Panasonic cameras are envious of both the autofocus and better battery life. But man, I couldn't even think about buying this camera due to the lack of IBIS and the overheating issues. Since Sony still makes the a7 III (yes, the a7 III), why not put an aps-c sensor in to a7 III body to reduce overheating and provide more buttons???

[@_phil.good_]

Thanks for this great video! Does it make a difference if you use an OSS lens with a camera body with or without IBIS? Like to they add up?

[@itsr7studio]

Appreciate your candor in this first impressions video, Jason! Two questions: 1) if this were to be used as a webcam for a Zoom meeting for instance, is a capture card necessary or will a USB cable suffice? and 2) will the audio from say a Sony ECM mic on the ZV-E10ii be picked up by the computer? Overkill for Zoom calls, I know.

[@Trommelkiste]

whats about the Rolling Shutter with this Model?

[@Cyrob123]

No IBIS / low crop EIS is a massive deal breaker if you're shooting 10 bit since catalyst browse doesn't allow exporting 10 bit. Would need to pay for catalyst prepare

[@martinp1442]

Dear Jason i need small camera for landscspe, holidays and astro ( trough telescope ) What do you think? Zv m1, m2 , a6700 or a7c2 ? Or maybe panas s9?

[@clarkjamesdigital]

they just need to make it open gate, that way you get horizontal and tik tok content in one shot and the camera ergonomics are more suited to being horizontal

[@bastimilio]

In this price range i would go for the A6700. Personally, I will stick with the generation 1 ZV-E10 because the new version is lacking the mechanical shutter and also has no IBIS.
