• A:Answer It takes great pictures but it is marketed for video. I bought it for both. The biggest drawback for taking photos is the lack for a view finder.

• A:Answer Yes. If you buy the body only version without the kit lens, which is what I did, it comes with a dust cover that fits over the lens opening of the camera body.

Asked 2 years ago by Mustang405.

This question was asked about the related product: Sony - Alpha ZV-E10 Mirrorless Vlog Camera - Body Only - Black

• A:Answer It uses the older style Sony Alpha battery camera. So for example, my 10 year old Sony Alpha battery fits this camera as does the battery charger. You can pick up extra inexpensive batteries for this camera without any problem.

Asked 4 years ago by Cmacias.

This question was asked about the related product: Sony - Alpha ZV-E10 Mirrorless Vlog Camera - Body Only - Black

• A:Answer You can find "dumb" and autofocus adapters for Cannon lenses. Do a search for them. I don't have any Cannon lenses so I can't comment directly. I do have a dumb adapter for my old Sony lenses and it works as expected but just has no autofocus capabilities.
