Product photos by Dan Bracaglia The Sony ZV-E10 is a 24MP APS-C mirrorless interchangeable lens camera aimed at vloggers. It features an articulating selfie screen with touch capability, 4K video capture, headphone and microphone ports and a variety of add-on accessories to assist in video capture, including the handgrip seen in the photo above (so...
More than just an a6100 without a viewfinder, the ZV-E10 sets out to make video capture a straightforward and high-quality affair. Let's take a look at some of the features and modes that make this possible, many of which were first introduced in the compact Sony ZV-1:
Both the Canon EOS M50 Mark II and Fujifilm X-T200 are strong competitors in this market segment. Let's see how the three cameras stack up against one another across a variety of specifications. And for the sake of comparison, we're also including the ZV-E10's two nearest siblings in the a6100 and Sony ZV-1: On paper, the ZV-E10 has a lot going for...
Top plate
On the top plate of the ZV-E10 (left), you'll find the hot shoe/multi-interface shoe for connecting a flash or microphone. As mentioned, the shoe supports digital audio and certain Sony microphones will work without the need to plug into the 3.5mm jack (located on the side of the body). Next to the hot shoe there's the built-in microphone, on/off switch and a button that allows users to quickly switch between stills mode, video mode and high-speed video mode (called S&Q mode for 'slow and qui...
Rear and customization
The ZV-E10, like the a6100, has two control dials: one on the top plate, the other on the rear. We don't love this design choice because both dials are controlled with the same thumb, meaning you have to shift your hand each time you want to adjust one or the other. The rear control dial has four clickable positions, all of which can be customized. By default, they provide access (from the top moving clockwise) to the display settings, ISO settings, exposure compensation, and the drive mode....
Articulating display
Unlike the a6100, the ZV-E10 has a fully articulating rear display (3", 1.44M-dot). It's touch-sensitive, but not all that responsive. While vlogging, I found it hugely helpful that a large red rectangle appears around the frame on the LCD, to indicate video capture is occurring. The camera also features a front video record/tally lamp to make sure you know when you're 'rolling' (this can be turned off). For the most part, touch capability only works when shooting video and stills. Users cann...
Video capability is obviously the biggest selling point of this camera. Below, we dive into the various video captures modes and we'll take a look at video quality.
The ZV-E10 uses the same outstanding autofocus system as Sony's most-recent a6000-series siblings, with 425 PDAF points and 84% sensor coverage. It also offers the same highly reliable face and eye detection functionality, which Sony has dubbed 'Real Time Tracking'. Unlike the majority of Sony's competitors, these features are well integrated into ...
Image quality from Sony's ZV-E10 24MP is identical to that of the Sony a6100, which is to say, excellent. JPEGs show attractive color and excellent detail retention, even at higher iSO values. Raw performance is also quite good, offering a good degree of latitude for editing, though Raw files are compressed in a 'lossy' fashion and extreme edits ma...
Overall
As a vlogging platform, the ZV-E10 has quite a bit to offer: good quality oversampled and uncropped 4K/24p capture, headphone and microphones ports, a selfie touchscreen, a high-quality onboard vlogging microphone, industry-leading video AF performance, painless livestreaming capability and best-in-class battery life. But it also falls short in two key areas regarding video quality: poor rolling shutter performance in 4K and subpar Full HD footage, both of which are complaints we've leveled a...
Compared to peers
For vlogging, we'd take the Fujifilm X-T200over the ZV-E10 because the rolling shutter is much better controlled during 4K capture. Neither camera shoots jaw-dropping Full HD footage, but the Fujifilm's is a bit better. The X-T200 also offers an EVF. On the other hand, Sony offers better video autofocus on the whole; there's no subject tracking option during video capture with the Fujifilm. It also offers a better onboard microphone for vlogging. Compared to the Canon EOS M50 II, we'd take th...
