[@stphotogfrank]

I just bought Nikon Z30, it's now my first interchangeable lens camera, after a 25 year gap in Photography (I used to do film photography)

[@DR-zj4od]

The Nikon Z30 wins hands down again. Great info.

[@yohandelacruz0831]

The Z30 is advantageous for existing Nikon DSLR users. Just strap in an FTZ adapter and you can use the best F-mount lenses on it with full functionality.

[@cLaw27]

F mount G lenses.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

Definitely a great camera

I bought the ZV-E10 with a sigma trio lenses and its awesome. This is my first camera ever. I highly recommend to go for the ZV-E10

Where/when were you able to pick it up?

[@MrAns4friends]

is there any rolling shutter on slow pans?

[@arachnidkalven]

Same😊

[@visionprodvisionprod8426]

Thank you Mark for all these well-documented details, it's reassuring that you continue to appreciate the Sony ZVE10 despite its age and its few flaws, but its affordable price and its obvious qualities will be difficult to beat for the competition. Its biggest defect "the rolling-shutter" disappears with the use from Catalyst browse.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

It’s quite an amazing little camera

[@gordon3988]

Wow…great comparison! For video little Dougie seems hard to beat as long usage doesn’t require panning. For photography, likely the Z30.

[@anilaboutme]

Such a great entertaining and informative comparison. Much appreciated. I'm a Nikon shooter, and while the Z lenses are lacking there's of course the F mount lenses that you can adapt. They'll be noisy though so it's better to use an off camera mic for that. Other than that they both are great.

[@robertroy3003]

I am a beginner knowing not much about camera. Last one was a film camera...... This review is awesome, even tough the concept explained were complex it was understandable. That is what happens when somebody understand extremely well their topic. When you understand well you can explain well. Great job Mark and thank you very much for the hard work you put in this.

[@mammitnaamalle4603]

Thanks buddy, great short review!

[@vikasgiri9803]

One important feature you missed is “mode and user preset dial” of Nikon Z30. It’s very important for hybrid shooters. Going everytime in settings to change modes in ZV E10 is pain in the ❤.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

yes - that is a great point for the Nikon - it does make switching easier instead of a virtual button. should have been included!!

Can you please explain? like do I have to change the mode to what I set, after ever click or after the device restarts?

[@victorlim5077]

Wow. The Nikon Z30 did quite well in the low light video footage. Good rolling shutter as well.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

Yes indeed!

[@goprimate]

Thanks for a great review, I also really liked your review on the zv E10 vs Canon M50!

[@markshirley01]

The 1080p quality is substantially sharper to me, watching on my monitor, this is important to me because I shoot mostly 50p to give me the option to slow down 50% in post. So Im glad Nikon did well in this. Note: The Nikon Z30 doesn't crop 4K video at 30p, the ZVE10 does. I think from these tests the only thing Id miss in the Z30 is gyro stabilisation - having used it a few times its very handy.

[@ShaneDMCshorts]

Exactly

[@lewisjamesmedia9072]

Damn how did he leave that out, that's huge!!!!

[@KaB__1]

Thanks a lot for this very clear comparison! I just wanted to add Sony made a software in which you can put your footage and it will fix the rolling shutter for you quite well.

yes - that is the catalyst browse software i mentioned in the vid 👍

[@LALONNIE]

@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis yes it was thank you new sub

[@adrianvanleeuwen]

My vote would be on the Nikon Z30 as it has digital IS with less crop than the Sony. The 4K Flat graded profile of Nikon Z30 looks good compared to Sony and Canon in your samples. In the end, who buys this, depends on what lenses a person might already own or brand loyalty. Both Sony and Nikon are close and have great colors. I am guessing Nikon bought their sensor from Sony maybe? Both work as vlogger cameras.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

yes - these days it really depends on your preference

[@boredaliensclub4416]

Bro you are geek and funny one at the same time...love to watch your videos .. people around you must be happy to have you

[@nsontung]

Thank you for your great review, I will go for Nikon Z30 definitely.

[@ItsWhatIDo]

Oddly the Sony looks better for outdoor shots but the Nikon (or Nikpon (4:04) as you had it in one section) does better inside. Both very useable though. The feel of a camera does make a huge difference when you are using it and the Sony just doesn't have that satisfying feel to it compared to my Canon. If the Nikon has a similar feel to it, as I suspect, then that would probably have been the camera that I bought. But the Sony was released first and that's what I bought.

[@ilysbarillot6175]

Great video as usual. Very handsome, and the cameras are kinda cute, too. Will do you do a review on the Nikon Z30? I looked on your video tab and I didn't see one specifically for the Z30.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

Yes - I’m going to do a straight review for the Nikon really soon.

[@offintheesses]

Funny that you mentioned shooting race cars at the end as that is one of the things I need the camera to do. Was heavily leaning to the ZV-E10 before but now seeing the Z30 leaves me with a much more difficult decision to make!

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

the rolling shutter is pretty bad. so if shooting race cars, you’ll need to shoot in 1080 on the zv-e10 or at least up your shutter speed to something like 1/125 - which might make the footage look a bit shaky

[@offintheesses]

@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis Definitely something to keep in mind, thank you!

[@wallystellmacher6794]

Very good review. You only forgot to mention that the internal microphone in the Nikon is much better.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

thanks!!

[@shauncathey9365]

Great valuable info

[@iancraig]

Mark, I’ve found a workaround for the Sony E10 poor 1080p For 30p, video in 4k and render at 1080. For 60p, video at 120fps with a shutter speed of 1/125th. Render in 60p When you use 120fps, you have 100 mbs and no crop. 1080 crops into the picture very significantly causing it to look soft. 120 uses the full sensor!!

[@1alwaysbray]

Great video mark! This was a fun/funny one to watch. I’m still unsure on which one to get. I’m looking for either of the two to take with me on a trip to the Mediterranean. My main concern with Sony is the crop when shooting at 4k in selfie mode? and the shaky footage (which I’m thinking that can be eliminated with a gimbal and in catalyst browse at post? Do you think a side angle lens will help with the crop at 4K when vlogging in selfie mode? Appreciate you taking the time to read this. Cheers

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

Catalyst browse or a gimbal will eliminate shaky footage for sure. There is no crop in 4k at 24 or 25p - 30p has a 10% crop. And if you're using a gimbal, and 24p or 25p, you'll have the widest field of view. If using catalyst, use a 10% crop with all stabilization off.

[@saurabhshastri9549]

NIce explanation buddy.

[@PhilChandlerArts]

I was on the fence between the two of these, but went with the Nikon z30. The easier touch screen menu and better rolling shutter is what sold me in the end and I couldn't be happier... the images I'm taking are beautiful, and I'm really happy with the video. I need to get a couple more lenses, and I know Sony has the bigger selection when it comes to lenses, but I've seen that Nikon still has a fairly descent selection. I also tend to stick to 1080 video when shooting and it's been handling it very well.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

makes perfect sense to me

[@user-ib8le2nt1x]

Thank you sir 💯🤩

[@AdventuringWithNala]

Nice comparison man. For future stabilization tests, you should walk normally lol. We want to see how it looks when we are walking when vlogging and I don’t think people are going to be walking carefully and stiff while vlogging haha. It’s a better real world test.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

walking normally is not a good idea for camera stability. if you’re going to Vlog with ANY camera, you have to be steady. 🤣🤣

[@AdventuringWithNala]

@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis as a vlogger, you’re not focused on how you’re walking. You’re focused on what you’re saying and the story you’re telling. When you see a vlogger filming themselves they are not going to be tip toeing while theyre walking. That’s the whole point of this aggressive electronic stabilization is so that you can walk normally and the shot not be shaking like mad. So if you’re a vlogger watching this test, then you want to see real world what the actually shake looks like not what it looks like when you’re being careful and trying not to shake. Also as a vlogger, the point is not to have a gimbal like shot, it’s just to have a shot that doesn’t make you nauseous when you watch it. It’s expected that there’s still some camera shake when you’re vlogging and walking.

[@biswajit07]

@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis just walk normally but slowly with stable hands. That would be great

[@hoojamaflicks]

hi mark, thanks for another great video. you've fast become my favourite camera reviewer. does the minimum shutter in auto ISO also work in video? and you really can't shoot shutter priority in video?? seems crazy. but minimum shutter in auto iso in video would work ok for me. also nikon kit lens looks better than sony kit lens (corrected).

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

Minimum shutter only applies to pictures. You can use auto iso in video, but the shutter speed you’ll have to set on your own as well as aperture.

[@markshirley01]

auto iso work great in video on Nikon in my experience - it works really well, you don't get sudden jarring of the exposure like Sony cameras Ive owned. Its one of those underated features of Nikon.

[@sibnivavod]

Hi Mark! Thank you so much for such a detailed and interesting comparison. Can I ask you one question? Please tell me which camera you would choose if you need to shoot cool, sharp pictures of wildlife (while traveling) in summer and autumn in 4K 30 FPS? I have an old Nikon D50 and with it a couple of inexpensive lenses (Nikkor 35 2.8 and Tamron 55-200 3.5-5.6, it seems), so I also look at DSLRs. Sample list: 1. Nikon D7500 (the main advantage is the Nikon F mount, which means a bunch of lenses for the future and without any adapters, the crop is confusing when shooting 4K and the fact that it’s a DSLR...); 2. Nikon Z30 (same as Z50 but without a viewfinder); 3. FujiFilm X-T3, but used (the limitation on the shooting duration of 30 minutes is very confusing, the possibility of 4K/60 fps is attractive, and many praise the “Fuji” color and picture); 4. Sony ZV-E10; 5. Sony A6400; If you answer, please provide at least a brief argument as to why this option is chosen. The main thing is to have the highest quality, detailed video, photos - it doesn’t matter. Well, post-processing capabilities are also important so that you can paint with high quality in Adobe Premier... The shooting is non-commercial, everything is just for yourself. Thank you!

[@dentaltv]

For Video I will stay with my Sony ZV-E10 for sure !!!!!

Bought a Z30 to replace my aging panasonic G6 as my kids performance video camera, couldn't be happier. Great codec, wish it had a headphone jack. Flippy screen and usb-c charging is great. Colors are great

hi,,did you have some overheating issue?

[@twoblink]

@@ciudadanosdelcosmos I didn't until the other day, pooped out at like 1:30. I however identified one of the reasons nobody talks about and it makes sense. If whatever you are filming is largely white, then it will overheat. Makes sense, so it overheated when I was filming a lecture, mostly pointed at the powerpoint presentation. White is all the colors combined, so all pixel sites are at full gain. So it's not just length of time and environment, it's color you are filming.

Lumix 12-60 and nikon 16-50 mm for me are the BEST kit lens ever.

[@the_gear_shak]

Thanks for the side-by-side comparison of these two! I'm looking to get a camera to use for making product review videos and the one big thing I don't see often mentioned in camera reviews is the autofocus which is crucial for reviews. I will often have the camera on a tripod about 2 to 4 feet from the subject area recording the product in use and then moving the product up close to show the details or if I'm using a knife for carving I might move the carved item up closer. With that said, how well do these two compare when it comes to the autofocus; how well do they detect a change in distance, how quickly do though focus, are they likely to bounce around a bit trying to get focused? I'm new to the world of cameras and am learning this as I go, but am trying to pick up on the info pretty quick to make a well informed decision. Thanks!

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

They’re both great for autofocus - but Sony is the best focusing system in my opinion of any brand. The ZV-E10 focus is perfect. you can dial in the speed you want - there is no hunting or bouncing.

[@the_gear_shak]

@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis Awesome thanks for that feedback. A fellow reviewer has a ZV-1 and while I like the overall video quality, it seems to hunt and has a real abrupt focus transition, might just be his settings. Do both have the option for an external mic?

The ZV1 can be set to smooth autofocus for sure. Both cameras have mic inputs

I was in search for a stock of Rx100 vii in the Philippines but had a hard time finding one as rx is gonna be very good for my travel. So I ended up getting in the middle of the m50 ii and zve10. I only chose the zve10 because the box was sealed and the m50ii is also a new unit but out of the box already for display.

great choice!!

[@aodoiable]

Great review! Your walk looked so uncomfortable, maybe pick up the pace next time 😂😂 anyways ended up getting the Nikon

[@xophaser]

The nikon z30, with a better rolling shutter and no crop, is a higher video ranking to me. I use an external mic which has a headphone jack so I don't need the camera headphone jack. The bigger grip is easier for selfies. Sony has lots of good features that as a beginner video do care too much yet. Both should work well for beginner plug and play. Nikon web cam software you install once and it works like any other computer driver.

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

yes - the Nikon has some great features. love that camera!!

[@secretstoamazingphotos]

Sounds like just a better user experience with the Z30 having full functioning touchscreen, while the Z is limited to focus touch. If long video in 4K is important without overheating over 30 min., the Sony wins, but 30 min. for 4K for Nikon Z30 is often fine, or go with 2 hours record with full HD 1920. These cameras are apples to oranges on some features, but still close in function. The Nikon has a better high res. back LCD which also makes for great user experience. I would go with Nikon z30, but both cameras are priced similarly with kit lens. Tough choice for new users though if someone is not brand loyal. Despite there being a lot more Sony lenses, how many are the average user going to buy, maybe 2 or 3 at most. Thanks for a great review! This would people buying one or the other.

Thanks for the great video. Quick question, between a6400 and ZV-10 which one do you recommend for both video and photo?

[@lewcehjitl3282]

Zv-e10 has new color science also 11fps raw and buy a small rig cage with grip and you have your self an awesome little camera

[@gigihanmandarin]

They are the same camera almost but ZVE10 is cheaper. Choose A6400 if you use it primarily for photography (it has EVF), choose ZVE10 if you use it primarily for video (it has flip out screen).

I agree with the comments - if you’re doing mostly photo - a6400. Mostly video, ZV-e10

[@behrooz8393]

​@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis Thank you Mark for the reply, but if you were to force yourself to pick only one for both video and photo which one would it be? I really love zv-e10 but not having efv hurts so much 😂 Do you think I'd live by without it or EVF is a must-have?

@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis and that’s my take on this vid , so just say it here! Seems to me to much emphasis on photo which is cool, but both are marketed at the vlogger / creator etc feel that’s what the focus should be on otherwise I just as well get a vid Corder cuz that’s what they’re made for🤷‍♂️ … but haven’t found any vid that’s told me why I should invest in either or whatever option out there other than a GoPro etc.. what’s the weight like/ balance? Other than arms length no one has stuck em on a stick .. the extra length should solve the crop factor one would think that was taken into consideration since most mobile vloggers are swinging a stick.. and they are the target demographic for these.
