SONY ZV-E10 Review: Sony's BEST Budget Camera

[@shzammpatapon9865]

Gerald, I swear that every subscriber that watch your videos is addicted to your content. The moment they saw, instant click. People who have watched your videos knows that the amount of work, compact information is provided is unreal. Thank you for your work from camera communities.

[@TheNewTravel]

Riddle me this Sony: if this camera is aimed at beginners, why keep the old confusing no touch screen menu system? 🤔

[@vnecksurferdude7041]

because it's only $699

[@mbvglider]

​@@vnecksurferdude7041 For every other manufacturer, their cheapest cameras rely on the touchscreen more, not less.

[@TheNewTravel]

​@@vnecksurferdude7041 we're not talking about a sensor, we're talking about a touch screen. Even the cheapest $100 phones have that, come on now

[@JohnDrummondPhoto]

My guess is, it's an old processor that can't handle the new menu. Nor touchscreen control of the menu. Nor a fast enough read-out to reduce rolling shutter. But it's $699.

[@mbvglider]

​@@JohnDrummondPhoto I don't buy that an old processor can't handle more touchscreen controls. The Olympus E-PM2 was released in 2013, and that could easily select settings using a touchscreen. It couldn't change them, but you could hit settings with your fingers and then use the dial, which is actually more than you can do with many Sony cameras released in the last couple years. Meanwhile, budget-friendly, last-gen Canon cameras like the RP and M5 have wonderful touchscreen controls. It's just Sony who just keeps making cameras where the specs are good, but the user experience to get them is so mediocre.

[@jasonrae3049]

You had me at rolling shutter. Why in the world would sony makes a vlogging camera with that of bad rolling shutter. Its meant to walk and move with. Lol.

it isn't that bad if you use stabilisation for vlogs... it isn't good, but definitely something that can be used

[@Bagus-101]

Sony APSC has that of rolling shutter issue especially worse at 4k. You can reduce it in post or use lower resolution instead.

[@williamaungleyraud]

Because that's typical Sony aps-c job, if you are interested in something like this look at the Fujifilm X-S10 instead 😎👍

[@jessecumberledge4530]

@ imo it is that bad. Actually even worse than that bad. It causes screen tearing ex ex ex its horrific and crap. This is 2021 not 2015 when the sensor was released

@@jessecumberledge4530 check the par of the video where he's vlogging with active stabilisation... do you really mind that rolling shutter when it is not clearly pointed out? I don't... yeah some scenes it can ruin, but for vlog? more than usable

[@therealjimmy5411]

Beginning at 8:40 when you go into active stabilization there is a high frequency jitter that is just nauseating. Immediate firmware updated needed, or if that is the best it can do, that's a hard no.

[@JayWeldy]

Comment has nothing to do with the camera but, I own a Sony A7iii and a Sony FX3 (along with 4 other speciality 3d/360 camera's). When I wanted a beginner full frame camera I looked at channels like Peter Lindgren and Peter McKinnon to see what they where shooting on. Those guys have a beautiful look, but when I wanted a detailed specs review I was glad that I found your channel. You are a whole different type of person dude.

[@PaulFeinberg]

LOL you finally got to post this video! Great one! Ya I can't stand the rolling shutter of the APS-C Cameras, but dang they really priced this camera super well. Nice job!

yea same poor rolling shutter, but there are a few important upgrades like product af, rec light & my fav multi-i hotshoe

[@genewaddlerandomstuff2122]

It seems a lot like a 4K upgrade to the a5100, which is not a bad thing.

[@frankfeng2701]

Every time I need to know something about a camera, I go to KZbin.com and search for: "Camera Model + Gerald Undone". Your voice is so soothing and you have a very good ability to explain things. I don't need to known more than what you have to explain. And btw. I know this one isn't new - I'm one of the people who already saw your review on ZV-1. But I would love if you started your next video by saying: "I'm Gerald Undone and I used to be the lead singer of a rockstar band" - Have a nice one Gerald :)

[@sibertiger17]

Hey Gerald. Fellow Canadian here from Airdrie Alberta. After days of watching KZbin videos to find a camera, I'm worn out... everyone has a different opinion and you never know which are paid opinions and which are honest...but I want to trust the Canadian in you to help me decide on a camera! I'm not ready to spend $2-3k yet on bodies and lenses, but I'm more looking for one to use in my home studio, which is a very small room, 8ft x 10ft, that will be the main camera, on a tripod... I don't give a damn about vlogging with it, as I use the DJI Osmo Action for that, and I'm tired of every single review focusing on that aspect! I just want a pretty good camera with good resolution, can do decent bokeh background in a small space, and possibly be used as a webcam as well. What would you suggest?

[@truthseeker6804]

zv1 with the sigma 16mm f1.4 should work. but if you want more affordable you can get the zv1. the only real difference for your indoor videos is, the zve10 with the sigma lens would give more blurry background. thats about it. both would still give blurry background.

[@sibertiger17]

@@truthseeker6804 do you mean zv-e10 with the sigma lens? you said zv1 twice!

[@SebiToys]

so beginner I would call myself, filming toy reviews, in well lit or overlit scenarios. I was looking for a A6400 and then this thing came up, zv10. So what would you recommend between the two ?

I was scared I’d regret buying a ZV-1 for light vlogging when this came out, but I feel the opposite. The Ulanzi WL-1 is a surprisingly great wide angle lens to put on your ZV-1 to make it a useable all-in-one vlog cam. Would love your thoughts on what that wide angle lens does to the image quality at some point!

[@DutchUltra]

The image quality is not noticeably different, i have one

[@lithrawri]

[@izzydo3494]

I just bought a zv-1 used for 630$ and I don't regret it. This camera is still seems a class of its own apart from the zv-1. If you don't already have lenses then this camera still going to be more costly. I prefer the all in one package of the zv-1. Losing the built-in ND filter is a shame but I get why they did it because of the lenses.

[@ThaiMyStyle]

Me too but had trouble using an ND filter with it, I think will go for this one :)

Nice round up, also love that you did a long vlog test because it's a vlog centric camera. I prefer the 6100 over this because I'm a photographer first. So the EVF being there is huge.

[@MichaelBabich]

So, yet another outdated Sony camera and outdated processor from a stone age were repackaged and repurposed. I guess will see a terrible rolling shutter, outdated clunky menu, and in general subpar beginner camera for people who switch from phone camera to something better. I guess it becomes more and more obvious that Sony just doesn't want for APS-C line to undercut and erode sales of its FF line. It even has vlogging option in the FF line-Sony a7C. Sony released the last APS-C E lens exactly 2 years ago and since then it has released only FE lenses- already 10 lenses-and zero E ones. Makes me wonder about Sony's focus on APS-C in general. I think Sony just wants to unload all APS-C sensors and older Bionz X processors (hence, older outdated menu in camera) stock it has left and support sales of E lenses stock to focus in the future on FF and 1" sensor cameras with newer Bionz XR processor-while Fuji focuses on Medium and APS-C. Both brands are arguably the best in their respective formats. At this point, it's rather hard to compete with Fuji on the APS-C format. If Sony creates something like Fuji X-S10 or even X-T4 it probably would be priced in the same range or higher than Sony a7C. Hence, it's already better to buy Sony's FF than Sony's APS-C.

@@KNAPPAID Appreciate the info/summary on the whole line-up! I came to similar conclusions when comparing a lot of cameras, there always seems to be some downside or feature that's intentionally crippled or missing. I've somewhat narrowed things down to the S5 II X now, it seems to be a great fit for me in terms of how hybrid it is (after having an S5 II on trial loan). Rolling shutter is still there but not as intense, autofocus is great but not as good as an A7 IV. IBIS was fantastic in my tests for handheld video, and plenty of other bonus features.

To be honest, the footage from this cam looks horrendous. AF was failing majority of the time, I saw more details on those trees than on your face, stabilization didn't help much, rolling shutter seemed more apparent than on some other cameras, and your skin has a green tint even when you stepped out out of the trees. Might be good as a stationary B cam, but most certainly not a camera for vlogging. Thanks for the review

[@silverlightphotoco]

To me, the image looks bad ESPECIALLY after KZbin compression (the most common use case) but as someone who tests lots of cameras and lenses to optimize lens-sensor relationships (by creating "lens-sensor LUTS") I think there may be hope for this...but I have a few questions: 1. You're so right about the D-range being bad in the "Standard" profile, and while it looked better in Log format, do you think using a filter (such as a Tiffen Black Pro Mist, Sof FX, etc.) could help reduce the contrast to constrain the d-range so it renders smoother gradations? 2. I test and keep track of my Contrast, Sharpness and Color settings for EACH LENS I use and I'm wondering if you've tried to tweak those settings (to maximize the d-range and reduce digital artifacts, etc. ) Check out my blog post about this topic: www.silverlightphotoco.com/post/how-i-set-camera-settings-like-the-zone-system 3. Is there a way to clean up the compression artifacts (especially noticeable in the motion induced during vlogging)...like upping the bit rate?

Not a very exciting camera, but a very important one. When paired with the kit lens it's the same price as a Panasonic g95 kit, and I feel like this is the first time Sony has a good value proposition in the entry level market when compared to micro four thirds. May not be relevant for us, but a gateway camera is super important for beginners, and having one means Sony will likely get them in the e-mount ecosystem from the very beginning of their careers

[@andreas1701d]

Great review, as always... the target market for this camera is bang on; I'm just disappointed they recycled the same sensor with the same quirks and issues. I recently went from an a6400 to an a7c and I'm thankful, because I suspect the resale value of the a6400 is about to get decimated. On the plus side however, the a6100 may become a great budget-friendly camera between now and the holiday season.

[@sosgds]

Great review! I think you bring out a lot of great points with regards to how this specific camera is designed to do a little bit more if you're not really looking or wanting to do a vlog style setting. In fact it's perfect for someone that's going to do a lot more talking head videos on this camera because it's going to allow you to have a wider shot with that 16 to 50 lens. Plus if you put a sigma 16 1.4 aperture on it you should be able to get a much more bokeh better situation. And I noticed that you didn't really talk about the product showcase or any of those other features which quite frankly for a talking headseting this is probably going to be the best camera that Sony has sold in this entry level lineup. I own the zv1 and I think it's great for what I do but the zv-e10 is a camera that I'm looking for specifically to do talking headshots and simply putting it on a tripod. I plan to use my zv1 as a top-down shot. At any rate this was a great review thank you for the great video.

My opinion the 4k is completely unusable. This is a 1080p camera through & through .

[@JC-rm6pm]

well, that was pretty bad quality in the vlog test, i'm not sure if the camera is that bad or you are just pushing way too hard

[@saiashwin26]

Nothing like terrible mushy footage to scare away potential customers.

I absolutely love this camera. I’m mad that I just bought the M50 to livestream and make basic KZbin videos for my nee channel. I wish I waited and got this.

🤔 I'm a bit divided on this one. Really its an APS-C version of the ZV-1 and that multi interface hot shoe is great. AF looks like it could be better. Does product showcase work well?

[@JamesDBuzzard]

I'm right here with you!! I'm sticking with my ZV1 for vlogging and doc type stuff. The rolling shutter is the killer for me. Wish Sony had a new sensor for this Camera

[@TheMacronical]

Kasey used it on his video, product showcase works as well as on ZV-1

[@RyanREAX]

Sony is angry at this review LOL, this camera is terrible at anything moving... MAYBE a gimbal will fix it up.... but handheld or a "selfie stick" its terrible.. so much jello and shakiness.... if you use this camera on a tripod for static shots...maybe....

[@BrianMakesFilms]

The rolling shutter is hideous sadly. Got an A6600 and that thing stays on a tripod all the time when I'm using it. It's my C-Cam alongside my FX3 and A7iii so it pretty much would anyway, but it's pretty rough to see because you know vloggers are gonna be jelloing it all up.

Can we use gyro stabilizations with catalyst browse on ZVE10?

[@markr041]

Yes.

[@BucNasty32]

I was hoping for a Camera Conspiracy cameo but you’re far too classy to vlog near a dumpster.

[@MichaelWTurner]

Is it me or did the footage from this new camera look like a$$? I use the Zv1 and a6400 and they look way better. Even when he was shooting in s-log it still looked pretty bad. I always shoot in PP4 and modify the sharpness, contrast and saturation just a tad. Looks great. Maybe that's the issue or the green cast from all the trees.
