More than just an entry level vlogging camera
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.

The best camera to learn and grow from!
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!

Perfect Vlogging Camera â Clear, Compact, and Easy to Use!
The camera is very easy to use, especially with the fully articulating screen that flips out for selfies and vlogs. Itâs 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.

Perfect for streaming
My husband uses this camera to record video and sound when he is streaming or when he is playing games with his friends on Discord. Color is nice for what he uses it for and he’s very happy with the quality. Much better than a camera that attaches to the computer and we get extra use out of it for family photos, etc. Only downside is that when we take regular photos, they turn out a yellowish color. I know this could probably be adjusted and messed around with in the camera, but for a couple of hobby photographers, we don’t want a camera that is super hard to figure out with the color. Resolution is nice and gives nice photos.

I already have a full frame A7r2 that I’ve been using for video, so I can offer a comparison with that (which may also translate to other Sony full frame cameras) for those interested.Video quality: I’m immediately impressed how hard it is to distinguish the video quality from the a7r2. It does need a bit more light (it’s at ISO 200 under the same lighting conditions that the a7r2 was at ISO 100), and the crop factor is certainly noticeable when using the same full frame lenses, but apart from that, it just looks really good. To be clear I’m not doing any carefully measured tests, this is just a first impression eyeball test comparing 4k vs 4k video of the same subject in the same lighting conditions.Build quality: Here’s where the relatively-budget pricing of this camera is noticeable. This feels very cheap and plasticky compared to an a7 (which has a metal frame). The wheel on the top of the camera feels mushy and yucky. They didn’t bother to paint the screws to match the colour of the body. The “grip” looks grippy but feels glossy smooth and if anything *more* slippery than the rest of the body. There’s no proper latch to open the USB/HDMI panel or flip open the display, it’s just a crevice in the plastic you have to dig your nail underneath to pop it open. It is “budget” within Sony’s camera lineup, but I’d still hope for better given the actual cost. A rubbery texture to the grip would cost what, like $3, that’s not a corner they need to be cutting on a device that retails for $850.Software: This is another area of advantage vs. my a7r2 that is an older model and not designed for video first. Mostly the menus/settings are very familiar, but a big plus here is auto-focus tracking on eyes, while in video mode. I’m mostly using this on a tripod, but the ability to use a touch screen for changing the AF focus point is also a plus. I’ll also include in “software” that it can directly function as a webcam with its USB output, which is a convenience (I’ve tested this and it’s fine, but I still prefer the better quality and 4K support of the HDMI out into a capture stick).Hardware design: Mostly this is a standard Sony camera layout of hardware buttons/wheels/etc., and with the settings a lot of it can be customized. My only complaint, apart from build quality, is that the display screen flips out to the same side of the camera as the HDMI/USB output and mic input–meaning that if you use it while anything is plugged in, the cables are going to obstruct the display. I can see how they backed themselves into this corner (there would also be problems with moving the jack locations, and there would be problems with moving where the display flips out), it’s just unfortunate. I’ve ordered a “right angle” micro HDMI plug as a mitigation.Overall, the optics are the big selling point here, in a very compact package that is video-first. If using it on a tripod indoors, get a “dummy battery”, which will both give infinite power and prevent overheating of the device. You can charge while plugged in by USB, but it doesn’t charge as fast as the battery drains (or so YouTube tells me), and anyways it will just generate heat and ruin the battery. The cleverness of my pairing this with my a7r2 is that they use the same battery (and I have a dummy battery already). Otherwise I might have waited for the ZV-E10 ii, which is expected to come out very soon.
