Sony ZV-E10L Mirrorless Vlog Camera with 16-50mm Lens (APS-C Sensor, 4K Video, Flip Screen, Real-Time Eye AF, Ideal for Content Creators)

As a YouTuber and tech enthusiast, I am always on the lookout for high-quality equipment that can help me produce better content without breaking the bank (too much). Here are my thoughts: For my current use (mostly in a studio environment) I must admit that I hesitated to pull the trigger on this camera. I was thinking I could get away with my smartphones, but truth is recording a clean and bright video inside 4 walls is still nearly impossible due to the very limited capabilities of the optics and tiny sensors in those (unless you live in California I guess). With the arrival of (finally) good 4k webcams such as the ElGato FaceCam Pro and Insta360 Link for example, I was tempted to return this camera and get one of those webcams for much cheaper (or even buy the two of them for the price of this Sony). But I remembered the flexibility a proper camera brings compared to simple webcams. At the end of the day, it all comes down to your needs and your budget. What I like: Everything. It is one of the very few cameras with the following features (which I really need on the daily) and at a decent price: clean HDMI view (so I can use my ElGato Camlink 4k in OBS with it) / flip out screen / external mic in / 4k video recording / removable lens. The USB-C file transfer and charging is great, offers a lot of flexibility and negates the needs to carry around yet another charger. While the body is mostly plastic, it doesn't feel cheap at all. It is lighter and more compact than most, making me want to take it when going out. Works flawlessly with my DJI external mics and all cheap shotgun mics I plugged in. What I don't like: Nothing directly related to the camera itself. It's just like any other camera, many accessories are needed (and pricey). Fast SD cards, sturdier mounts, different lenses (especially a wide one, as the crop in 4k video recording mode is massive), and an AC adapter. The USB battery charger in the box, while designed only to recharge the battery, can slow down the discharge rate of the battery when the camera is on and recording. But I wouldn't recommend it long term. It helps when in a pinch, but it won't do for continuous recording and surely can't be good for the camera and or its battery. I'm looking to get that Sony AC-PW20 adapter, but that's another 100e/88£ to part with, and that somehow really annoys me. The Sony app which allows to "control" this camera through a smartphone is downright a joke, with an extremely slow live view and delayed reaction when tapping on the record/take photo button making it almost useless. If they would fix the app, this could actually be really helpful.

Sony Alpha ZV-E10L The Sony Alpha ZV-E10L is an amazing entry level camera, now for me this was a big purchase but I needed a new camera for content creating and other projects I had going so I needed a camera with a lot of video features, access to manual settings and lenses this camera has all of that and some features such as a flip screen I really wanted but I also didn't mind sacrificing few features such as sensor and view finder. Product Used for Content Creation, Social Media, Light Photography / Filmography and for educational / test footage (Learning to Video and Colour edit with RAW and LUT configs). Likes / Pros Sony might make expensive products but there's a reason for that they are very well paid, they last long and offer a lot of features their audience is after. This camera has amazing selection of settings and features, The Kit Lens well-worth the purchase as a first zoom lens, Video quality is outstanding (just takes little tweak of settings). Dislikes / Cons It's not without it's flaw in the world of camera this is budget / entry level for a Lens based camera with this quantity of features as such expect some flaws and limitations but for it's price range it's some of the best quality product I've found (I sent another camera back, I should of done more research and read more reviews). The stabilisation on this camera is a huge problem if you're shooting footage on the move, the stabilisation gets to the point in order for it to be effective it adds such a huge crop makes me just want to use my phone, if shooting footage on the go i suggest a gimbal to support you (adding to the cost) and the battery life is some of the worst I've ever seen, invest in 3-4 or more space batteries or a plug in battery kit otherwise you will run into problems quickly. Summary & Verdict Depending on your use this is the ideal camera with amazing features, can do a lot with the functionality (does it well but excels at none, hence the price of other cameras £2000+) and for me it's great camera for my uses but also gives me an idea of features I use the most, need the most and if I was to purchase an upgrade I know exactly which features i would focus on making the next purchase even easier. If using for content creation and social media this might be only camera you ever need depending on the content being made. Well worth the expense but as with most things do your research and ensure the product is right fit for you.

I bought the Sony ZV-E10 thinking it would be “good enough” and yeah… it’s actually really good. Autofocus is the standout, face and eye tracking just works, which is ideal if you’re filming yourself and don’t want to keep checking if you’re in focus. Video quality is sharp, photos come out clean, and it handles less-than-perfect lighting better than I expected. This was important because I go out a lot at night! It’s lightweight, easy to use, and doesn’t feel overwhelming even if you’re not a camera expert. Flip screen is genuinely useful, battery life is fine, (but I did buy extras) and once you pair it with a decent lens, the quality jump is obvious. (I bought a sigma 30mm 1.f) and it works amazing. Feels like one of those purchases where you don’t immediately regret it, which is rare. Would happily recommend it. I’ve made my partner want one too now haha.

I'm going to repeat what most YouTube videos say on it really, plus some bits they don't mention... It's worth noting that I use it mainly for video rather than pictures. It's great for situations where it's a static setting, e.g. recording in a fixed location or as a high quality webcam. It is not good for fast or even medium speed moving subjects. I use it for recording first person YouTube footage and B-Roll and it's ideal for that. Here are my main irritations: One extreme disappointment is that the USB-C connection to your PC only allows streaming at 720p, which is one of the main reasons I bought this model, but didn't realise you couldn't stream at 4K or even 1080p. So I had to buy an external capture card and HDMI cable. The second most annoying thing is that the power circuit doesn't seem to be well designed, as the battery discharges even when it's plugged into a high power USB-C port. This means that if you use it as a webcam then you'll need to change the battery after 4 hours or so, even though it's been plugged in! I'm certainly not risking one of the cheap dummy batteries or paying for the official one. The third thing is it's remote control capabilities. The software is a mess and confusing, with lots of different protocols and connection methods, but none work well and some of which such as connecting your camera to your home WIFI network is not really documented at all. (Only connecting to camera as an AP is) The remote that you can buy for it only has a couple of buttons and so doesn't really leverage the functionality of the camera. The HDMI and USB ports block the screen too, so getting the camera into the right mode when it's on a desk mount squeezed between 2 monitors is very challenging. All I want to do it set focus, zoom in and out and start and stop recording remotely from my desk; and at least for me I do not find this easy to do. Having said all of that I still give it 4 stars and recommended for YouTubers because it's relatively cheap for a downsampled 6K to 4K camera with good picture clarity. It's night and day between this and what's considered a fairly decent webcam, the Elgato FaceCam.

This is the second time I have purchased this camera, due to an issue with the first. The quality is INCREDIBLE, shooting in 4k. Easy to carry around and vlog with, but also great for filming in a studio environment. Lots of in depth features but also easy to use for beginners. Mediocre touch screen but ok for the price point. I will also add that the kit lens is not the greatest quality and can be broken very easily if not handled with extreme care. Overall, I highly recommend.

Powerful little camera in such a small product. I have 2 DSLRs, both Nikon with multiple lenses. I picked this up as an upgrade streaming camera to my Logitech C922 Pro and in one word; amazing. I’ll be using it for a lot more! There’s way too many features to go through but this thing is PACKED! The kit lens it comes with from manufacturer is actually really good and you can remove it and fit a different one depending on what you need. Autofocus is virtually instant. It has a recording ability and can also shoot in RAW format as well as JPEG for those who need in-depth editing and correction ability. I was pleasantly surprised by this camera and would recommend it for sure. Whether it’s streaming, holiday pictures or “just cos”.

After a few days of using the camera, I changed my mind not about the camera, but about the quality of its work, and the quality of workmanship. The camera shoots well if there are no manufacturer defects in the camera. It was difficult for me to see the external defects of the camera right away, because of poor eyesight, and only when the protective glass was delivered, and I decided to install it on the camera screen using magnifying glass, I noticed small scratches on the plastic corners of the screen. Maybe I'm wrong, but the camera I received was previously used, although Amazon claims that they sold me a new one. The camera I received came with a kit lens 16-50 mm f/3.5-5.6 Power Zoom kit Lens, in general, this lens copes with its tasks for which it is intended, but I did not expect more from this lens than it is maybe according to its characteristics, and for this reason I bought three additional lenses for different tasks. 1. Sony E 10-18mm F4 OSS, 2. Sigma 351965 56mm F1.4 DC DN, 3. Sony SEL24105G Full Frame E-Mount 24-105mm F4. Once I got the main lenses, I decided to test the camera more thoroughly. I noticed that there are no system sounds in the camera, which should be present during various actions. I noticed artifacts on the camera monitor screen. Artifacts appear in the form of stripes and distortions when shooting video. Artifacts appear in the form of stripes, and distortion when taking a photo, when focus is pressed, and in general when the shutter is released. If the quality of the camera was good, I would have kept the review with an excellent rating, but alas. The second thing that upset me was the inability to replace the camera with a new one. Amazon refused to replace, and offered a refund, after a long time, as they wrote to me, the refund can last about a month. I bought the camera with the kit lens for £599, now the camera with the kit lens is £729, not a small difference. Summarize. Those who decide to buy this camera are essentially playing roulette, how lucky they are with the build quality of the copy they receive. Let's see how this whole story ends. I will definitely describe everything here.

Have it for about a year. Good camera

Ich hab mir die Sony ZV-E10 vor ein paar Wochen gekauft, weil ich eine kleine, gute Kamera zum Filmen wollte. Ich muss sagen, ich bin echt begeistert. Die Kamera liegt super in der Hand, ist nicht zu schwer und wirkt trotzdem hochwertig. Das Display kann man drehen, was beim Filmen von sich selbst total praktisch ist. Die Bildqualität ist wirklich top, auch wenn es drinnen oder abends etwas dunkler ist. Der Autofokus ist richtig schnell man merkt, dass die Kamera Gesichter sofort erkennt. Ich musste mich am Anfang ein bisschen an die Menüführung gewöhnen, aber nach ein paar Tagen ging das schon. Ich benutze sie hauptsächlich für Videos, aber auch die Fotos sind klasse. Die Farben wirken natürlich, und alles ist gestochen scharf. Der Ton vom eingebauten Mikrofon ist schon ganz ordentlich, aber mit einem kleinen Ansteckmikro klingt es nochmal besser. Der Akku hält okay, ich hab mir zur Sicherheit einen zweiten dazu gekauft. Insgesamt bin ich echt happy mit dem Kauf sie macht genau das, was ich wollte, und sogar noch ein bisschen mehr

J'ai eu un canon G7X markIII juste avant, qui avait un très gros problème,son autofocus. Maladie chez cet appareil, pourtant conseillé par un paquet de blogueur. Au second achat , j'ai demandé l'avis à des spécialistes et pas sur le net. *** Les + *** -L'auto focus en mode flash gordon ! On met sa tête et paf il fait la mise au point, JAMAIS de surprises au montage, j'ai d'ailleurs gardé mon vieux réflexe avec l'ancien appareil, à regarder de plus près et trop souvent l'écran de contrôle pour voir si je n'ai pas ma trombine toute flou, il ne délire jamais sur ce point, il est juste parfait, quand tu es tout seul à te filmer, il faut au moins que ça ne soit pas flou tous le temps. -Le prix du pack est abordable, et le fait que l'appareil soit évolutif (changement d'objectif) le rend intéressant pour un achat à long terme -Quoi qu'on en dise, il reste compacte, et la prise en main est très bonne. Je l'utilise souvent avec un stabilisateur, mais là encore, il faut en avoir l'habitude, ça change des stabilisateurs trois axes pour smartphone (surtout en poids total au bout de la main) -Robustesse, pareil on peu lire qu'il fait cheap et que le grip est moyen, tout ça c'est de la foutaise, on l'a très bien en main, mais c'est certain que si je le fais tombé par terre il va "beaucoup moins bien marcher maintenant", mais tu sais quoi ? avec une red à 10000 euros ça sera pareil ! De toute évidence pour avoir une image plus fluide en mouvement, il faudra prévoir d'investir dans un stabilisateur. *** Les - *** -Le mode webcam (car oui il est vendu pour ça aussi). L'appareil créer une latence entre la captation direct du son et de l'image, impossible à corriger, même dans les logiciels de live, personne n'est capable aussi de m'aider . J'ai été voir du côté des Américains, les tutos sont pareils aux Français, on voit clairement la latence, mais les mecs parlent comme si de rien n'était ! bref, si c'est pour cette fonction que vous l'acheter, ne le faite pas ! (il me reste à tester avec une carte d'acquisition, mais au prix de la carte, il y a des webcam aussi bien) -Écran de contrôle trop petit, maintenant quand on voit la taille de l'appareil lui même, je ne vois pas comment il aurait été plus grand -Pas de viseur, celui qui achète pour la photo va peut-être , être déçu -La stabilisation fait croper l'image à mort, l'achat d'un super grand angle est nécessaire, mais l'objectif est déjà au prix de l'appareil !!! ça fait cher, mais tôt ou tard, pour le tournage en intérieur, je serais bien obligé d'investir. -Le son est vraiment pas beau, il faudra penser à une captation externe, et malgré l'achat de trois micros, je n'ai pas encore trouvé ce qui me convenais. -La charge de la batterie ! Autant elle est assez longue a se recharger (enfin quelque chose de très classique quand même) autant la batterie tiendra 40/50 minutes maxi, pour un reportage ou pour de la captation en déplacement, faudra donc investir dans un pack de batteries supplémentaires. -Prenez en compte le poids des images enregistrées en 4k par rapport à la puissance de votre pc de montage ! J'ai un pc puissant et sur un documentaire de 30 minutes en 4k avec beaucoup de montage, de cut, d'accélération ou de ralenti, le pc n'en peut plus !!! Certes, vous pourrez descendre la qualité d'enregistrement, mais je vous assure quand on a du 4k sous la main avec un bon éclairage, on n'a pas envie de moisir l'image pour pouvoir faire tourner l'ensemble correctement sur le pc. ***Les faux points négatifs*** -Comme on peu lire sur le net et voir en vidéo, il y a des points sur lesquels on chipote à mon sens pour rien, comme par exemple l'emplacement de la prise casque etc, qui empêche de tourner instinctivement l'écran, mdr ... (suffit de le tourner avant de l'ouvrir complétement et là miracle !! oh ça marche marty, ça marche ! ) -Effectivement il est un peu long à l'allumage ou lorsqu'on l'éteint, mais je ne suis pas pressé à ce point là. -L'emplacement de la batterie n'est pas du tout un soucis, si le mec est faignant au point de dévisser deux accroches pour sortir la batterie quand l'appareil est sur trépieds, en effet, il ne pouvait faire que des tutos sur youtube ! (SPOILER/// " va pas bosser mec (pour de vrai !!! avec un vrai boulot), tu va être vite fatigué !!!") *** Pourquoi j'ai choisi cet appareil ? *** Avant tout, la rapidité de son autofocus, et la qualité de ses images en 4K :O Quand t'es tout seul à gérer le tournage et que tu ne veux pas perdre trois plombes dans tout plein de réglages, quand bien même, tout est débrayable, celui qui aime ça, peut vraiment s'amuser. Je n'ai jamais eu d'appareil photo ou vidéo de la marque, et je ne regrette absolument pas mon choix, vous pouvez voir des exemples concrets de sa qualité en tapant Docteur Peinture sur YouTube, et en regardant les dernières vidéos (les anciennes ayant étés tournées avec mon ancien canon)

Mindre än jag trodde, men det är inget negativt då den är väldigt enkel och smidig att ha med sig. Inte hunnit använda den så mycket ännu, men verkar väldigt bra!

maravilhoso
