Sony Alpha ZV-E10 - APS-C Interchangeable Lens Mirrorless Vlog Camera Kit - Black

I know the mk2 just came out. But hear me out. This one is better in a very particular way. Versatility.Because of the physical shutter, the zve10 here is a great hybrid shooter. Capturing great video, and amazing picture.Sure the mk2 has 10 bit color, but this mk1 is cheaper and more flexible.So depending on your specific needs both are great options.Pair this with a prime lens like the viltrox 23mm for talking head videos, or even a zoom like the 17-70 from tamron for great run and gun photography. This camera covers everything.Its a great place to begin a photo and/or video journey, that will help you learn everything from the basics, up to the advanced. And if you decide to upgrade to say an a7IV, or fx30, then you can always use this as a b cam, or a portable street shooter.I have used every feature so far, the slo mode is great, albeit a little limited, the continuous shooting is perfect, webcam streaming mode is easy to use and looks great, and of course recording content for youtube and instagram is a breeze.I highly recommend this to anyone looking to get started, but don't want to overspend. Grab this and a viltrox lens and your good to go.The packaged 16-50 lens is also very capable, don't let others fool you. Sure its limited apurture makes its low light performance suffer, but in well let areas or during the day, it captures great footage.

I recently upgraded from the Sony ZV-1F to the Sony ZV-E10 and it is the best move ever! I owned the ZV-1F for about 9 months before upgrading and it was the perfect camera for a beginner getting into photography and videography. As time went on, I knew that I needed to get a better camera to grow my skills and when the ZV-E10 went on sale for black Friday, I couldn't pass up the deal since that camera was on my wishlist!At this point, I've owned the ZV-E10 for about a week now, and the camera is perfect! The 16-50mm kit lens is amazing for what it is and the photos/videos that are taken with it come out looking very beautiful and cinematic. Since I am still a beginner at this camera setting, I just set everything to automatic, which still does a great job! The photos and videos are still amazing and I can't over the fact that the AF and bokeh look so good in the photos/videos (the AF is also pretty fast)! The microphone captures good audio and it does a great job for what it is - even for vlogging. However, I would say to invest in a good microphone if you're looking for something that will capture the fullness of your voice.Some things that I don't like about the camera are the batteries and the touchscreen functionality. The battery drains pretty fast if you have the camera up and running. You will DEFINITELY need extra batteries for this but Amazon has some good bundle deals for this! As for the touchscreen functionality, there is ONLY touch to track or touch to focus, no other functions than that. As I mentioned, I came from the ZV-1F, where the whole screen has touchscreen functionality. I was pretty sad to find that out since I was so used to the ZV-1F's screen.My final thoughts on the Sony EV-E10 is that it is an amazing camera for what it will give you. Although it is more on the advanced side since the settings can be a little hard to understand from a beginner, it is still a good camera to LEARN and GROW your skills from. The lens is something that can always be switched out so you don't always need to use the 16-50mm kit lens (but know that lens does get expensive if you are looking to upgrade). I do not regret my decision to buy this camera and I am very happy with it!

The media could not be loaded. The ZV-E10 is a very capable camera packaged in an entry level body at an amazingly low price. Right out of the box, you will get good image quality whether you pair it with the kit lens or any other quality lens. I have used this camera with Sony apsc lenses such as the 11mm 1.8, and the 15mm 1.4 as well as various Sony full frame lenses. Each lens rendered amazing image quality with fast reliable autofocus with the ZV-E10. There are third party lenses that work well with this camera but I have found that the autofocus was not as fast and reliable as the first party lenses.By using the picture profiles, such as S-log and HLG you can get amazing color along with astonishing image quality that you would expect from something costing 3x more. The 4K is sharp and clean. The files produced by this camera are easy to edit and are not overly taxing on your machine of choice. I have edited these files on my desktop PC and on my MacBook Pro and neither of them struggled with the files.The body of the ZV-E10 is very lightweight and fairly simple to learn the button layout. There is a zoom rocker switch that will control your PZ lenses or clear image zoom. The clear image zoom works well for those non-PZ lenses, and somehow manages to maintain optimal image quality while zooming in at up to 1.5X. Even though this camera is aimed towards vloggers, it is still capable of taking some great photos. There is an S&Q mode that will allow you to do Timelapse style video and slow motion, that is viewable directly in camera. These modes do not record audio but are useful for things such as B-roll and more. If you are a product reviewer, this camera has a mode that will focus on a product that is placed close to the camera, without the need to block your face.There are a ton of things to say about this camera, but the most important one is, that you will not be disappointed. After hours of use, I am still learning more about the camera and it has never overheated on me. Which is fairly common with most small body cameras.

Product perfect. Great investment. I should've purchased the Mark II because it overheats quickly unless you turn the overheat mode to high.

The camera is very easy to use, especially with the fully articulating screen that flips out for selfies and vlogs. It’s lightweight and compact, making it easy to carry around for travel or on the go. The interchangeable lens feature gives me flexibility for different types of shots, and the included lens works beautifully for most vlogging situations.
