Ultimate Showdown: Sony ZV-E10II Vs DJI Pocket 3 VS iPhone Vs GoPro - Which Is The Best Vlogging?

[@RoddChant]

I always enjoy your videos and the detail you go into, thank you.

[@soulafaselim4392]

This is the best camera review i have seen and i have searched A LOT ! thank you ♥️

[@mmathew1109]

Combination of iPhone 15 and GoPro 12 seems to be the best. As always great comparison video..

[@RomainG6409]

That is just one of the best review I have seen on KZbin, thanks for that ... I am an amateur guitarist who have a "home studio" (so record myself often) but I also do photos and videos since over 40 years, I had tons of cameras (any kind, reflex, expert, compact, hybride ... ) and tones of smartphones (iOS and Android) but I know also for a fact that when you love so much technology ... buying a camera with the possibility to change lenses is only worth it if you are going to keep it many years ... or if money doesn't matter ... if, like me, you love technology (I am an IT engineer) and you want to follow technology, then there is no need to buy a camera that gives you the opportunity to change lenses as you won't ... I have a couple of Reflex and Hybride and I almost never change lenses ... of course I am not a professional who would need many different lenses and don't do "reportage". If like most consumers, you are not a professional , then you may try to find the best camera that offers the maximum number of features you want to use ... long battery life, wide angle to decent zoom, light weight, small, for content production or just for making videos and photos in any condition but with great image quality in both area, easy to use, fast autofocus, lot's of bokeh, high low light performances etc. And after having viewed tons of reviews on tons of different material ... I reached to the conclusion that the "perfect" camera to cover most of my needs/requirements does not exist ... yet ... The DJI Pocket 3 would have been the best if it would have been ip68 compliant, and not so fragile ... smartphones are definitely bad on low light conditions if you don't want to work on your images on post production so it's a no go, action camera are too much, or I would say, only ... action camera focused and they do it pretty well, they are made for that ... dah ... and compact / hybride cameras are still far too big and you still need an extra bag with you to carry all the accessories they require so another no go ... so I will wait ... too bad 😉

[@markockwell]

I have the Iphone 13 Pro / Canon V10 / DJI Pocket 1 - And after watching this Video ( and a Couple of others, but mainly yours✅) I decided to Order the Go Pro 12 as I want a Rugged Camera, The others are a Bit too fragile to cary all the time in my pocket but I think the Go Pro sounds Perfect for me and the Stabilisation looks top draw

[@Outandabout-au]

Love the Pocket 3. DJI have made vlogging so easy and the GoPro has gone to the back of the cupboard now.

[@AjaySingh-228]

Great video comparing these four popular vlogging cameras! It's really helpful to see the strengths and weaknesses of each one all laid out in one place. All camera has some pros and cons...Well explained Mam

[@SharifAbdou]

Appreciate the effort of filming all these tests 👏🏽👏🏽

[@mlbpropertygroup]

Long awaited video, love it ❤

[@steveglennan]

The GoPro HERO12 Black Creator Edition Bundle looks like the best option for my use. I am however going to wait until September to purchase the system, to see what improvements will be in the new Hero 13 bundle. As always your videos are very informative, thanks!

[@oualidultra87]

Hey bro what are you buy ? I want buy GoPro 12 black this days 😊

[@smartphonefan5226]

That is a good idea. I am hoping that GoPro brings a larger sensor this time.

[@techbuyer]

Where they all fail and where OP3 rocks is shooting at night. And that makes big difference. Coming from the persons that used i15pm and s24u... I preffer OP3 in any way.

[@cozmothe.potato]

What you forgot is that the Sony zv -e10II can change lenses, the kit lenses has a f stop of 3.5, if she used a sigma 16mm f1.4 it would blow all the cameras out of the water, kit lenses holds back the camera

[@techbuyer]

@cozmothe.potato I have came down from Nikon DSLRs via Sony A6000 with Sigma 30 1.4 and 16 1.4, Sony RX100 etc to Pocket 2 and now 3. For size it is, there is no better camera on the market..

[@cozmothe.potato]

I personally have both cameras, and prefer my Sony zv- e10II because I do client work and having the bigger body and ability to change lenses gives a better image of what I do, also being able to control the aperture is what makes me go with my Sony all the time, I bought a DJI rs3mini for my Sony and it is perfect

[@TheRayalex]

Bought Pocket3 thanks to you! :)

[@skudavilafx]

I do vlogs while walking and also some vlogs at the gym plus some photos at the gym, should I get the osmo pocket 3 or the zv-e10 II?

[@NancyUniverse]

This is also my confusion because although the Dji is so compatible and easy to use but the quality of the sonyyyyy

[@Justin_Leah]

Always enjoy your videos! Can you tell me what phone holder you are using @19:34?

[@TimBrownTown]

I took my Pocket 3 on a cruise recently. Auto mode anti-flicker did not work real well and I ended up with a lot of bad footage in the restaurants. My Pixel 8 pro was much better, but even indoors it struggles with a ton of noise. I'm thinking hard about the A6700.

[@LouisLuzuka]

Did you try to manually adjust the shutter 😮

[@TimBrownTown]

@@LouisLuzuka No. I was just vlogging so I was relying on Auto settings. I filmed on the same ship last year with my ZV-E10 at 24FPS and did not have any flicker with it set to NTSC. I'm not even sure it was flicker, but that's the only thing I can think it could be. It was like horizontal lines going from bottom to top. It did not happen in natural lighting.

[@LouisLuzuka]

@@TimBrownTown interesting

[@TimBrownTown]

@@LouisLuzuka I know. I don't see many people with the issue. I'm going to try and remove it in Davinci.

[@Gemini_Connect]

I've also struggled with flicker on the Pocket 3 and action cameras, even with anti-flicker mode on. Seems to depend on the type of lighting, but it was especially bad when walking around the restaurants and shops in Paris.

[@fuscia13]

I love your videos. You are my go to for vlogging tech

[@joelconolly5574]

The ultimate vlog comparison is here. 😂 Personally the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 is probably the better option for a standard casual vlog and edit later or for family videos. They're reminiscent of handycam from back in the days. The Sony is for a bit more professional on the go use case or if you want focus on more broader video production. The iPhone is better if you want a versatile, all in one recording device and if you're in the Apple Ecosystem and the GoPro is for extreme situations. Lots of use case, lots of fun device.

[@ZenCapitan]

I love your videos. In my case I d iphone and pocket 2, one great feature is that you can control the dji pocket from the phone as the insta360 but unfortunately my pocket 2 dropped on the floor and damaged the head that couldn't move anymore, and the price to fix it was expensive that I chose to get a gopro and its perfect for me because it is waterproof and resistant. I dont like to use my phone because it contains important information and when I record video the battery drains very fast.

[@SachinSawe]

Nicely done 👏👏👏 as always!!

[@RonaldBrown59]

The Sony is way to big for me as a walk around camera, and by far the most expensive one on this list. The other three better fits my needs, I use all three for Vlogging, and they all work well. Great video, and thanks for sharing.

[@tommyh.8391]

I don’t think the Sony should be in this grouping. Sure, you can add huge lenses and scroll through endless menus while the action passes you by, but few people are interested in that kind of camera work. The world of video is heading away from big cameras and I have a shelf full of them, just gathering dust. After many years, I now produce custom videos for my clients using a DJI Mini 4 drone, DJI Pocket 3, Canon M 50, and an iPhone 14 Pro Max.

[@spirittravels.]

Great video. But I'm amazed you didn't include DJI Action 4 Camera. It's supposed to be better than Go Pro. As much as I think the pocket 3 image quality is really good. I don't like the bokeh effect on the walk and talk subject, scenario. I think the action 4 does a better job in this case.

[@AllThingsInteresting.]

after watching 1000s of comparison , hands down the best comparison . As i can buy only one camera and have to use it for variety of purposes for 2 years. this is the best review for me

[@PradeepKumar-tq4ev]

Which one u have decided to buy. I too want to buy one camera 📸

[@AllThingsInteresting.]

@@PradeepKumar-tq4ev osmo pocket 3 since i am getting into content creation , it would be a versatile camera

[@PradeepKumar-tq4ev]

@@AllThingsInteresting. I'm very much confused between Osmo pocket 3, sony zv e10 , nikon z 30, or add further money and take this new one sony zv e 10 ii.

[@PradeepKumar-tq4ev]

@@AllThingsInteresting. Would u pls share your points why u have choosen pocket 3 over these mirrorless cameras. That would be GREATLY HELPFUL TO ME. AM GOING TOMORROW FOR BUYING. PLS SHARE 🙏

[@AllThingsInteresting.]

@@PradeepKumar-tq4ev Same mai bhi confused tha, Nikon Z30 is out of the picture because more photography oriented hai . Sony zv e10 kit lens is not better than osmo pocket 3 . if you buy a lense for another 30-40k then it might out perform . Sony ev10 has 8 bit log mode while osmo has 10 bit . 4k24 fps hi hai sony eve 10 mai . osmo has 4k120 . let me know what are you going to use the camera for ill suggesr better

[@babyboy1971]

This is a GREAT video. I have the original Sony ZV1 and the GoPro 12 and love them both. I am saving up for a pocket 3 because I think it’s cool to have a gimbal and it seems like it does really well for low light. I’m curious as to what you think of other action cameras in comparison to the GoPro like the Insta 360 Ace Pro or the DJI Action 4. Thanks for the great content, I always love your videos. :)

[@JuustJayden]

Your comparisons are always there when I need the exact items compared thank you! I’ve been testing ace pro, go3s since I sold my pocket 3 creator as it was quite fragile and after one accident I got paranoid and felt I needed rugged for vlog/pov shots. But also needed something for cooking, which benefits a lot from bokeh especially food. Somehow I now ended up with Action 2 w more quality and same magnetic / pov factor as go3s and a ZV-1F. Do you recommend which kit? 1) Zv1F + action 2 2) action 2 + pocket 3 again since I need mic 2 either way for cooking Asmr 😅 or 3) action 2 + iPhone 4 pro (what I have) + insta360 flow pro gimbal +mic 2?

[@SkyDomeVIZE]

Personally still use my Sony zv1 with small gimbal. I know it's a tight focal, no 4k 60fps, and terrible battery life. The Sony zv series is just great for travel, vlogs, b-roll. For rugged and water shots I just use the Insta360 Go3.

[@Gothestgame]

Do you have the glamour setting on the DJI at 0:22 in? If so, the Sony wins. If not, how does the glamour of the DJI compare to Sony's?

[@Weedeogram]

pocket 3 is the best in terms of ergonomic & ease of use for stable video. you will grab grab this more then the rest for traveling. I hardly touched my sony camera & action cam since I bought op3 since Nov 2023. And there's no doubt that many youtubers are using op3 for most of the contents.

[@danieldouble07]

2:42 Since when can iPhones shoot 10bit outside of hdr mode. Have i maybe missed something?

[@Gemini_Connect]

10-bit on iPhone is in HDR mode only.

[@adairmd]

Great video comparing them.

[@qbryunhim]

Hello Gemini Connect! I look like a DJI Pocket 3 Very useful for me and pictures and videos are acceptable.

[@jonahkaiguam]

No dji pocket 3 low light mode? 11:02

[@qbukhari]

Please review about Audio quality of DJI Mic 2 with Insta 360 Ace Pro

[@Kuronnii]

This video is amazing!!!! And so helpful!!! TYSM!!! Now I can decide which camera buy 🙌🏻🤍✨😊

[@Niknouri]

So, for the music industry and something that works well for social medias like instagram reels, what would you recommend to me? Expect Sony! 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

[@sanse738]

Thankyou for information 😊

[@PLACESNONDESCRIPT]

I’d rather use insta 360 ace pro it has all of the three action like camera perks plus horizon lock 360 u can choose that and basically use the camera however u want without loosing horizon leveling and also loose out on stabilized footage basically u can even put the camera on your side hip and run and it’ll be stable and horizon always leveled 360 and have sharper low light or day time footage

[@beepdotboop]

I was waiting patiently for the zve10 mk2 but decided given the price I'm going to get the a6700 instead for the extra features. I already have the pocket 3 and my Pixel 8 Pro as supporting cameras.

[@petrsvoboda3902]

How have you not swapped out the GoPro for an ace pro or action 4 ? GoPro hasn’t had a competitive camera in 2 years.

[@Gemini_Connect]

I have both the Ace Pro and OA4. Like I said, I chose to feature GP here because it has the highest image resolution (and still the best overall image quality) compared to competitors. But the OA4 and Ace Pro definitely have better overall usability features.

[@EntrepreneurialBoost]

Sound quality in GoPro is so realistic.

[@cozmothe.potato]

The kit lense is a cheap lense, if you buy the zv-e10II, make sure to buy a good lense, like the sigma 16mm f1.4

[@LouisLuzuka]

This makes me feel so good 😮

[@anandrajaram1655]

Pocket 3 and Action 4 for me. 🤗 And the Ace Pro. 😅

[@KikoPL]

and iphone for zoom ^^"

[@thecyberseer]

Phones are ALMOST there as a replacement but not quite yet

[@jaymills1720]

Excellent video! Love iPhone or pocket!!!

[@coreygee799]

11:44 Sony's image 'stabilization' on a dedicated vlogging camera is inexcusably bad.

[@Xenomorphine]

So far as I know, the DJI requires a smartphone app for first-time activation, whereas the Sony doesn't? If so, that's a disadvantage. Some people either don't have a smartphone (elderly people and those living in areas with no cellphone coverage, for example) or don't have enough available space on them.

[@Gemini_Connect]

Both the DJI cameras and GoPro require smartphones for the firmware update that you have to do before you use the camera (and to get new features in the future).

[@Xenomorphine]

@@Gemini_Connect Yeah. It's something which has huge disadvantages if you either don't have enough space to install the app or just don't have a smartphone. If the Sony ZV-E10 doesn't require that for first-time activation, this is to its benefit.

[@khalededucation148]

love u from Bangladesh

[@mandonyc.]

Great video very informative & helpful keep up the great work 🫵🏽👍🏾

[@bonsaicantho2]

Thanks

[@LouisLuzuka]

This was so tasteful 😮

[@LouisLuzuka]

I’m curious about the practical implications of having lots of lens options vs convenient iPhone 😮

[@Gemini_Connect]

It's definitely more convenient to use an iPhone. But if you have the extra $$ to spend and don't mind carrying spare lenses, you get WAY better image quality and focal length range by using an interchangeable lens camera like the Sony.

[@LouisLuzuka]

@@Gemini_Connect I think at home it’s okay, but travelling I found it was more convenient to have a phone because some places didn’t allow me to use any cameras or even a flash ! But it was a nice workout to carry around

[@SinghRoadwayS]

Congratulations 🎉 8:07

[@hkhkrrr]

Sony skin-tone and color is famous as always😱... iPhone always win by portability with balanced quality

[@Brian_Riggs]

thanks for the in-depth review, just one thing regarding the sony beauty mode, to be honest it made you look plastic looking/false/fake, i say this because in the review you said it had the best skin tones, over youtube and to me it looks so fake,

[@Gemini_Connect]

Fair point -- the skin tone preference is to taste. Curious, which camera do you think had the better skin tones?

[@Brian_Riggs]

@@Gemini_Connect interesting point, the dji in d-log looked the most natural to me, i don't own a dji pocket but to me it looks worth the money.

[@spirittravels.]

​​​​​@@Brian_RiggsWhilst the pocket 3 is a simple to use camera, that works great out of the box; there's absolutely no doubt that the Sony is gonna be most capable of producing the best possible look. And that is down to the expertise of the user.

[@sayhowling]

i got gopro11 for self vlog and pov shots, and it was going all fine and dandy until the sun sets and went dark. i almost cried. it was the WORST low light camera I have ever seen. i wished I watched your video before purchasing. could've bought DJI

[@LouisLuzuka]

That beauty filter is incredible 😮

[@ericd1084]

I don't even need to watch to know it's not the GoPro. (Don't worry, I'm still watching) Worst cameras I've had have been GoPro. Nothing pro about it.

[@alpiston]

Wow, Sony is actually bad! Thank you for the comparison!

[@CycleMan2200]

Why are you comparing an action camera against an iPhone? Seems kinda silly to me.
