Sony ZV-E10 II
Sony addressed almost every criticism we had of the ZV-E10 in this second-gen model, including adding better video codecs, and improving battery life and screen functionality. However, in-body image stabilization is still not the best, and a steep price hike puts the ZV-E10 II closer to more accomplished Sony models like the A6700.
For
- Superb 4K/60p 4:2:2 10-Bit video
- Best-in class autofocus
- Good integration with smartphone functionality
Against
- Overheats after 24 minutes when shooting 4K/60p
- No viewfinder
- Poor stabilization
- Pricier than ZV-E10
Sony ZV-E10
Launched exactly three years before the ZV-E10 II in July 2021, the ZV-E10 remains a decent video camera for vlogging newbies. It has a compact design, autofocus still impresses, and you have the same excellent range of E-mount lenses to choose from as with the new model, though 4K video shooting is limited to 30fps and rolling shutter can be an issue.
For
- Compact size
- Impressive stills camera
- Solid audio credentials
- Good value
Against
- Pronounced rolling shutter
- No 4K/60p video mode
- Menu system isn’t touch-optimized
- No viewfinder
