Sony ZV-E10 Mirrorless Vlog Camera (APS‑C Sensor, 4K Video, Flip Screen, Real-Time Eye AF, Ideal for Content Creators)

Been using the Sony ZV-E10 for the past 6 months. Taken it abroad for travel, shot a few YouTube videos. This camera has almost everything you need to get started with videography, photography and content creation. If you are looking for a small, affordable, compact camera, with interchangeable lenses, then this is it. Especially if you are coming from a RX100 series and wanted a bit more from the RX100. I have the Sigma 18-50mm F2.8 lens and it takes great photos and videos. Not as small and pocketable than the RX100, but it has its pros. Good points * Touch focus - It’s not a touch screen for accessing the menu, but you can touch the screen for focusing on your subject, which is very convenient. * No recording limits in 4k or HD - You can record till either the battery dies, the sd card fills up or maybe when it overheats, which I’ve yet to experience. * Interchangeable lens. * In-built mic. Don’t like the in-built mic? Well, it has a mic jack. * Small, compact, and light. * Flip out screen - Useful for self vlogs, portraits, and various shots. Things to be aware of * No optical view finder - This may be a deal breaker for some. I find the optical view finder useful when taking photos in sunny bright conditions. * Screen under bright conditions - Under really sunny bright weather, the screen is very difficult to see, and a view finder in this instance would have benefited. * No inbuilt ND filter - Not the end of the world. * Does not have a dial to quickly switch between photo, video, and S&Q modes. You have to press the single button to toggle through. I prefer a dial. * Doesn’t have the S-Cinetone picture profiles that you will find in the A6700, ZV-E1. Not a deal breaker. BUT with a quick google search, you can find settings to get you close enough. * Image stabilisation - for video, make sure you have the steady shot enabled for hand held shots, otherwise the video is very shaky. With all that said. I still like the Sony ZV-E10. It’s an affordable compact interchangeable camera with a tonne of features. Paired with a quality lens, you can take amazing videos and photos. I think its the baby sibling to the A6600, A6700 series which has a higher price point.

Awesome picture quality and compact. This is perfect for content creation and photography but I would recommend buying more batteries as they don't last very long. fantastic value for money.

The Sony Alpha ZV-E10 is a wonderful camera and beginner-friendly enough overall, I bought mine just before Christmas. There may be many settings you won't use for a while until you learn them, but this camera gives you the opportunity to do just that (more than 6 months later, I'm still learning). It is perfect for pictures and vlogging alike, and you can fairly easily navigate the basic settings. I'd recommend looking more into this camera as there are just so many features, and to also make sure you buy enough storage beforehand, and perhaps extra battery packs too. One thing I personally didn't realise is that I bought the option without a lens and so had to wait a bit longer before using it (I got the basic Sony 16-50mm mount in the end). This is a note to other beginners who might miss that or that not all cameras come with a lens.

I purchased this to run alongside my A7Rii and it makes a good companion for video as it's quite handy when you want something small and lightweight so makes a nice system for day trips out and about. It doesn't feel anywhere near as sturdy or rugged as the A7Rii, and although it's not a professional level camera, I would have thought Sony would have made it a little more robust as it does feel somewhat fragile. If you're already a Sony shooter you'll be able to quickly set things up and get your custom shortcuts set up, although just be aware you don't have anywhere near the level of customisation as with the pro lines, but i don't think the target audience will be too fussed by that. Overall it makes a good step into the Sony ecosystem as you'll be able to use the same lenses on the full frame systems so I would buy lenses for the FE mount so if you upgrade later you'll have a full frame lens that won't be cropped by having to use Super 35mm mode. *IMPORTANT* Do remember, this camera has a 1.5x crop factor so before buying a lens in the focal length you want, take the focal length of your chosen lens and times it by 1.5, so if you want a 50mm focal length, you'll need to buy a 35mm lens which will give you a focal length of 52mm (35 x 1.5=52.5). Also note that there is no IBIS so if recording video, it will use software stabilisation which will further crop into the video image, unless you turn it off. Overall it's easy to use, give nice photo and video quality and works well along side my A7Rii.

Just love it, so versatile and quality item. Takes good image and very good affordable option.

Not for me so returned

I got this specifically to make videos using the Product Showcase mode. And that mode works just great - it's like magic. I'm pretty impressed with just how good the video quality is, as well as the ease of use. I don't really use it for photographs so I can't comment on that, but for video it's great - I often use it in preference to my Sony A7iV because it's so much easier, especially for product videos. Autofocus is fast, image quality is great and there's a ton of options so you're not stuck on auto. You can set this pretty much anyway you like. The flippy screen is something you'll love or hate - I love it. When you face it to yourself, if you're vlogging, it's easy to see when you're recording with the red frame around the whole screen. Very reassuring. It's pretty lightweight too, so you don't need a super heavy tripod for this. All in all, I think it's great.

Ho preso questa camera ormai diversi mesi fa per utilizzarla come B-CAM da affiancare alla mia fidata Alpha 6400. La utilizzo per registrare video in 4K per il mio canale YouTube e mi trovo benissimo. A differenza della 6400, la ZV-E10 non ha il mirino elettronico e nasce in maniera specifica per essere utilizzata per i video. La qualità di registrazione è ottima in quanto utilizza un sensore da 6K e questo assicura un immagine nitida in 4K. L'autofocus è davvero sublime e per la parte video rispetto alla più vecchia 6400 sono stati fatti dei miglioramenti non da poco: 1) E' stato risolto il problema del focus breathing quando si utilizza la presa HDMI 2) il tasto di registrazione è stato messo in alto in una posizione molto più comoda rispetto alla 6400 3) lo schermo, a differenza della 6400, è completamente girevole e questo aiuta molto quando si registrano video. 4) Quando parte la registrazione compare una linea rossa intorno allo schermo ed un led rosso ben visibile e questo ci permette di verificare che stiamo effettivamente registrando. 5) C'è la funzione show case che concentra il focus sui prodotti e questo facilita di molto le recensioni. Con la 6400 per mantenere il focus sul prodotto si era costretti a mettere una mano davanti al viso in modo da disabilitare il focus automatico sul viso. 6) Le dimensioni ed il peso sono decisamente inferiori rispetto alla 6400 e questo rappresenta un vantaggio quando la si utilizza in giro. 7) L'audio integrato della camera è migliorato molto rispetto alla 6400. I microfoni interni assicurano una qualità audio nettamente superiore. Per i miei video utilizzo sempre microfoni esterni per avere la massima qualità audio possibile, ma l'audio integrato è di buona qualità e superiore a quello di moltissime altre camere ben più costose. 8) I ganci per la tracolla sono fissi e non più mobili come nella 6400 e quindi non fanno rumore quando siete in movimento. ASPETTI NEGATIVI: 1) Non ha il mirino elettronico e questo non è il massimo per le foto. Se state cercando una camera principalmente per scattare foto e non vi interessa la parte video non vi consiglio di comprarla. 2) La qualità costruttiva è buona ma non al livello delle camere della serie Alpha. Le plastiche sono più economiche e sono lucide e questo aumenta la visibilità delle ditate. 3) Si tratta cmq di una camera che registra in 8bit. Se volete registrare video in HDR vi consiglio di prendere una camera in grado di registrare in 10 bit. 4) Il sensore è lo stesso della 6400 e al pari di quest'ultima soffre di rolling shutter. Ossia quando muovete velocemente la camera lateralmente l'immagine si deforma. Nel mio caso questo non è un problema in quanto la utilizzo per registrazioni statiche in studio e su cavalletto. Se volete produrre video all'aperto in cui seguite oggetti in movimento allora dovreste tenere conto del problema. SINTESI Per quello che costa è davvero un ottimo prodotto, specialmente se il vostro principale focus è la produzione di contenuti video per il web. Assicura la stessa qualità video della 6400 pur costando in media 250€ in meno (io l'ho presa al Black Fdriday a 599). Il fatto di avere lenti intercambiabili è ottimo perché vi permette di aumentare di molto la qualità video.

“Deze camera werkt uitzonderlijk goed, met een scherp en helder beeld, snelle autofocus, stabiele prestaties in verschillende lichtomstandigheden, eenvoudige bediening die ook voor beginners duidelijk is, en een stevige bouwkwaliteit waardoor hij betrouwbaar is voor dagelijks gebruik.”

La ZV-E10 es una herramienta muy potente por un precio muy económico. Si vas a grabar en un entorno controlado y con buena luz no serás capaz de distinguir entre el vídeo de esta cámara en 8 bits del vídeo de una FX30 a 10 bits. Obviamente, en situaciones de luz complejas con gran contraste o poca luminosidad, esta cámara sufrirá por su tamaño de sensor reducido y su vídeo comprimido, pero es que por el precio que tiene ganas mucho más de lo que pierdes. Tienes disponible el enfoque automático de cámaras más avanzadas y caras como la A7C, además de todos los perfiles de color para la grabación de vídeo como Cine 4, Slog-2, Slog-3 y el maravilloso HLG3. La Sony ZV-E10, además toma fotografías de la misma calidad que las de la Sony A6400, si bien su ergonomía y experiencia de uso la posicionan más como una cámara de vídeo, podrás hacer fotos fantásticas con esta cámara. Es una cámara muy pensada para usuarios con poca experiencia, pero con unos ligeros cambios en la programación de sus botones se puede adaptar a un uso profesional sin problemas ya que todos los diales son reprogramables para adaptar tu experiencia de uso a tus necesidades. Yo mismo he remapeado el botón de grabación y el botón de "prioridad de fondo desenfocado" para que funcionen como prioridad de enfoque a cara en enfoque automático y amplificador de enfoque en enfoque manual respectivamente, dejando el botón de disparo como botón de grabación en vídeo y botón de obturación en foto. Esta cámara sigue utilizando las baterías NP-FW50, pero es sin duda la que mejor gestión hace de las mismas durando al menos un 50% más que cuando uso la misma batería en mi A7II o un 25/30% más que cuando la uso en mi Sony A6400. Igualmente, la cámara se puede usar mientras se alimenta a través de su puerto USB-C de una batería externa. Me gusta usarla para llevarla a todas partes con un pequeño objetivo o de manera profesional, montándola en un rig, con un monitor externo, micro y batería externa que la hacen más pesada, con mejor agarre y con una autonomía para un día entero de grabación manteniéndose muy por debajo del peso de una Full Frame. Estoy muy contento con esa pequeña cámara con la que se pueden hacer grandes cosas.

A camera with only a screen (no viewfinder) when the screen is almost unusable... Hmm Sort of cheap but plastic build does not gain confidence. Returned. Much better options second hand for the specs and the sensor.

Le Sony Alpha ZV-E10 est un choix particulièrement adapté pour une première caméra. Il est simple à prendre en main tout en offrant des performances solides, ce qui permet de progresser rapidement sans être limité. La qualité d’image est très propre, aussi bien en photo qu’en vidéo, avec un autofocus efficace qui facilite énormément l’utilisation au quotidien. L’écran orientable est un vrai avantage, surtout pour le vlog ou les prises de vue en solo, et l’ensemble reste léger et pratique à transporter. Le fait de pouvoir changer d’objectif permet aussi d’évoluer avec le temps, sans devoir changer de boîtier. C’est un appareil accessible, polyvalent et cohérent pour un usage amateur, avec un très bon équilibre entre simplicité et possibilités.
