[@DMRCapitalHill]

I agree. This is a small cash grab for Sony

[@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.

[@BrainstechKnowlogy]

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

🙋🏼‍♂️ El IBIS DEL 6700 no es como imaginas 🤷🏼

[@geometerfpv2804]

Why are people so obsessed with IBIS...it doesn't help much for video. The active stabilization is much, much better. Active looks like a gimbal. IBIS just looks very slightly less shakey, but still extremely shakey. Ya'll act like active is a bad thing. You're supposed to do it correctly and carefully in post, then you don't get all the cropping. It's not like IBIS avoids the issue, you still need a gimbal. If you want to do active with an IBIS camera, you have to shut IBIS off anyway. IBIS is a photography feature, not a video feature. It does a similar amount of stabilization to OSS. It is nowhere near enough to film while walking.

[@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.

[@geometerfpv2804]

I don't understand why people are so obssessed with IBIS. It doesn't do much for video. It certainly isn't enough stabilization to film while walking. So, you either need a gimbal, which is a whole massive rig to carry around, or you need to active, in which case you need to shut of IBIS anyway. IBIS is a feature that makes photos crisp in lower light settings, or longer zooms. It really doesn't do anything magical for video. Yet people are willing to pay so much for it...

[@michaelbell75]

@@geometerfpv2804 You havent used a Panasonic I guess. Their IBIS is definitely good enough to walk around with.

[@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.

[@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.

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....

[@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)

[@geometerfpv2804]

You are 100% correct. I don't know why people are so obsessed with IBIS. It does not stabilize video in any signifcant way. Active is much better, and if you do it with gyroflow in post, you can control how much crop there is among many other things. This is ticking me off...so many youtubers are suggesting people spend enormous amounts of money to get IBIS for video...and it doesn't even do the thing they are claiming it does! I don't know how people got so badly misinformed on this. On an IBIS camera, if you want to film while walking, you either need a gimbal, or you need to shut off IBIS and use active. That's it.

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!

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💪🏻❤️‍🔥

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.

[@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 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...

[@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

[@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.

Wowee, a new Vong Drop 🤩

[@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.

[@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.

[@iPhonedo]

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

[@go0ot]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@Alvynov]

Great video! I love your energy!

[@maddybaliga]

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

[@idrisie6720]

[@soreeyez]

[@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.

[@zenworldo]

I agree with going with a6700

[@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.

[@Lua_Films]

If all you care about is shooting video, this is a really good camera, but for most people the A6700 is the better choice.

[@hkdom]

No mechanical shutter is a deal breaker. Will just keep my lovely mark 1 ❤

[@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.

[@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.

[@priyankumodi]

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

[@JasonVong]

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

[@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.

[@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😅

[@henlolneh]

if you are just getting into content creation and want a rather large step up from your iphone/phone footage, you really can't go wrong with this zv-e10 for $999 on the body or you could opt for a second hand sony a7iii body in great condition for ~$900-1000 these days. can't go wrong with either choice.

[@JonathanWillis]

If you are prepared to use a webcam, I've seen the insta360 link and Obsbot tiny 2 (£250) , get very close to the Zv-e10 mark I + sigma 16mm F1.4, minus the bokeh which you can add in software.

[@nikkop]

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

[@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???

[@DianaGladney]

[@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

[@g_lantos]

No IBIS, No mechanical shutter, +$400... seriously Sony? No thanks... I wanted to buy this for my girlfriend who is into content creation, but as a FX3 and A7IV owner I gotta say the ZVE-10 mark I is a better buy as a starter hybrid shooter if you are on a budget. $600 without lens or save up and get the A6700 for $1400 but this mark II for $1000 is just not a smart pick. Also the zoom rocker not showing the frame is nonsense... I have it on my FX3 and I love it but because it shows a pretty visible frame when it zoomed in. Sony should have kept it that way.

I have to agree with the 6700, unless your budget can't stretch that far, the A6700 is the better value and camera overall.

[@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.

[@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

With the range of absolutely massive cameras available the complaints about the few small cameras not being big enough is the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

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
