Customer Ratings & Reviews

This camera has sparked my desire to learn more about photography. This is a crazy, feature packed updated version that gives you the flexibility of changing out lenses. I have always traveled with at least one dedicated camera to compliment my latest version iPhone. The way this camera can go from being in a case to helping you capture memories or content so quickly is one of its best features. The camera comes kitted with a better than expected 16-50 zoom lens. A carry strap, NP-FZ100 battery and documentation rounds out what this camera ships with. I did get the Sony content creators accessory kit which includes the bluetooth shooting grip and shotgun mic for more flexibility when using the camera. I have similar camera to compare to for perspective. Sony launched a few years back the ZV-1 camera and for what I needed this camera was perfect. An all around feature packed camera for our outdoor adventures. I didn’t expect the need to swap lenses but as anyone who takes up the hobby of photography, there is always something new! A few welcomed upgrades are the larger touch screen that provides the user with an easy and fast experience when needing to change settings. Also, something I found I prefer more than I thought was the power toggle button vs, just opening the LCD screen. You can have the camera ready to shoot photos quicker than going through the opening procedure like on the ZV-1. One thing I have become accustomed to with these specific models is the C1 or background defocus button in close proximity to the shutter button. I find that using this built in feature is quicker and usually accomplishes the desired photo effect vs. having to manually adjust camera and lens settings. I am really looking forward to replacing my older Canon DSLR with this camera during outdoor adventures. The size alone and weight savings allows me to bring more options (lens) than with my traditional DSLR. This model does have active image stabilization and paired with a lens with that functionality, you get a rock solid video when moving while filming. I can also highlight the quality and customization build into this camera with the microphone, expect incredible out of the box audio better than most alternatives. Plus, the hot shoe does allow options for higher quality audio devices. One interesting feature I didn’t think I would use but found to help me capture quality, in focus images is the smart technology baked into this camera, the Real-time Eye AF allows you to choose between several main preferences like bird, animal, and human. Exploring these does challenge how the camera finds and maintains images in perfect focus. I was battle testing the camera in sport mode at a kids sporting event and this mode allows you to hold down the shutter and the camera will continue capturing images. It will continue taking photos for some really neat action shots. I don’t need some of the additional features to support live streaming and wifi transfers but thankful this camera is capable. I am already starting to look at reviews for the next lens upgrade and have my target set on something with more zoom. It feels good in your hand and is well balanced with the kit lens. Can’t wait to continuing to perfect my photography skills with this awesome camera.

I'm not a major camera nerd, so take this all with the understanding I'm no expert, this is all my own opinion, but this is such a good entry level Mirrorless camera. It's obviously not the best camera Sony sells, but at this price point, with the included lens and fluffy little 'wind sock' for the built in mic, this is an amazing place to start if your looking to get serious with your content creation game, or step away from using your phone to take your vacation photos and videos. The included 16mm to 50mm lens is a good starting point for closer and mid range photography, and as the whole kid is focused on content creators first, where the user is going to have the camera setup fairly close to them, streamers, vloggers, and the like. In line with the content creator focus of the bundle and this camera, USB-C charging and connection port gives you good fast charging and the camera can be directly connected to your PC to act as a webcam without needing additional capture cards to grab the camera feed for your stream or other workflow. For those who shoot footage and then edit later there are a plethora of automatic modes for different color space and vibe as well as a raw mode for you to do your own color grading with. You will want a fast high capacity SD card for this camera to take full advantage of the recording capabilities, I learned this pretty quick finding the SD cards I have on hand right now are just not fast enough to record the best this camera can output. Overall, I think this is overkill if you haven't started yet, streamers, and vloggers can get their start with basic webcams and a good cellphone, but for those who already have been doing it and are taking the next step, I think this is a great point to move to, and is a platform to expand on, with its accessory connection on top for microphones, or camera flashes, a tripod nut on the bottom to mount to well, tripods, or gimbals, or a camera arm. Interchangeable lenses so if the included one no longer suits your needs in the future you can get new ones and expand your capabilities without needing to buy a whole new camera. I've been primarily using it for streaming, and it's such a huge step up from my webcam. The more I use it the more inadequate the rest of my setup starts to feel, the extra clarity makes the rips in the back of my chair far too noticeable lol, and while the low light performance is great, my old camera had a light ring built in, so... I might have to invest in a couple key lights to minimize the awful shadows from the overhead lights in my room.

As a content creator, I couldn’t be happier with the Sony ZV-E10 II. The video and photo quality are absolutely stunning—rich colors, crisp details, and dynamic range that makes everything look cinematic. The upgraded 26MP sensor paired with 10-bit recording, S-Log3, and S-Cinetone gives me professional-level footage straight out of the camera. I love the creator-friendly features like the fully articulating touchscreen, product showcase mode, background defocus button, and the ability to swap lenses for different creative looks. Autofocus is lightning fast and reliable, and the larger battery lasts all day. Pros: Gorgeous video and image quality (4K up to 60fps) Interchangeable lenses for endless creative options Lightweight, portable, and comfortable grip Fast, accurate autofocus for people, pets, and products Easy-to-use features designed for vloggers and creators Cons: No in-body stabilization (a gimbal or stabilized lens helps) Not weather-sealed Bottom line: If your priority is high-quality video with great creative control, this camera is a powerhouse. It’s portable, beginner-friendly, and still has plenty of depth for advanced creators. Whether you’re shooting for YouTube, Instagram, or client work, the ZV-E10 II delivers amazing results every time.

I recently took the Sony ZV E10 Mark II with me on a weeklong trip to Rome and I can confidently say it was one of the best travel gear decisions I have ever made. From the moment I landed this camera was by my side. It is lightweight and easy to carry through long walks around the Colosseum, the Vatican, and the charming alleys of Trastevere. Despite its compact size it delivered stunning 4K video and sharp photos that looked absolutely professional. The autofocus is incredibly fast and accurate. Whether I was vlogging at the Spanish Steps or filming street performers by the Pantheon, the eye tracking kept everything sharp and in focus without any extra effort on my part. If you are planning a trip and want a camera that is compact, powerful, and designed with creators in mind, I cannot recommend the ZV E10 Mark II enough. Rome was unforgettable and thanks to this camera I have beautiful memories captured forever.

Sony is always five stars, but the shipping guys at bestbuy are only one star.

I will be honest, I get intimidated by 'full function' cameras, there's a lot going on and a lot to learn - normally. With the Sony Alpha ZVE10II camera, Sony have created an 'entry level' camera that can help transition you from simply using an iPhone, to using a 'real' camera for video content creation. Out of the box, the kit comes with 'almost' everything you need to get going. The camera body has a weight to it, a chunky grip, and a nice solid build quality. The lens is included, and the battery as well. However, there is NOT a charging cable or a charging dock for the battery included, so you need to find your own USB C to USB C cable to get the camera charged. Not a huge deal breaker as you probably have a vast array of those laying around, but a small annoyance when unboxing and wanting to get into using the camera right away. The kit also does NOT come with a memory card, so you will have to have one of those on hand, or go out and get one. Fortunately, I had a couple of spares with my drones, so I was able to get up and running right away. Once you have the camera charged, you are greeted with a nice touchscreen control, that swivels into almost any position you could want it. So if you are shooting vertical content, you can face it towards you, whether you are speaking into the camera, or recording something in front of you, the screen can always be visible to you, or alternatively, you can fold the screen away. This is the main control panel for the camera too. You can connect your camera to your phone, and use the Sony Creator App to control some functions, and you can even import photos and video from the camera directly to your phone if you so desire (I still currently edit my videos in InShot, and iPhone app). I'm sure this will change when I get more acquainted with the new camera. The 4K video shoots at 60fps, which is absolutely fine for the content I'm creating, in fact you don't even need to go that route if posting to Instagram etc, as 4K video at 60fps can get choppy - Instagram doesn't like 4K for some reason. But for YouTube content, 4K at 60fps is great, but if you want to capture some nice slow motion shots/footage, you can record 1080p at 120fps. As mentioned, I this is my first foray in transitioning from an iPhone to a 'real' camera, and as such, Sony makes that a somewhat easy transition, as it has a lot of fully baked functionality in the camera that the camera just does for you - several auto functions taking the complications out of your recording process. But the camera is advanced enough to allow you to make many different settings and parameters to enable you to dial in your footage to your own style as well, be it over saturated, or mooted etc, depending on your preferences. I am sure I have only scratched the surface on what this camera can actually do for me, but as a transition from a phone to a camera, I couldn't think of a better starting point to jump off from. With interchangeable lenses, you have that 'full function' capability from the camera, in a nice compact package. Is it a Professional Camera? Some people may say yes, that it's all you need to be a professional vlogger, but if you are wanting to take those epic sports photos, then this is probably not where you want to start. Overall, I couldn't be happier with this choice, its a fantastic step up and a great way to advance my video capabilities, and when paired with the Sony Creator Kit II (tripod, wireless remote and shotgun mic) to really has taken my content to the next level!

This is my first camera, and it’s super easy to use. I love how accessible all the settings are, and even on auto mode, it clicks amazing pictures. I also really like the compact size and the adjustable touchscreen.

I have used this camera for almost 5months this is the best camera i have used as a beginner and the best thing is the battery and it doesnt heat comes with the touch and auto mode with the moderate price and got picked up with in an hour

Did a lot of research before purchasing this camera. I was looking for a camera that I can use as a new content creator and this is the best of the best! Easy to use and found lots of informative info on the settings along wit tricks on the internet. It’s small and lightweight making it very easy to carry around with you. Picture quality with the kit lens is great however the camera does not come with a charger - but uses a usb- c charger. I e been carrying this camera with me everywhere and everyday since I purchased it. I would definitely recommend to any content creator- note this camera does not come with a view finder but has a screen that can be moved around and rotated

I recently purchased this camera from Best Buy, and it has truly elevated my content game! As a lifestyle blogger, I needed something lightweight but powerful — and this camera checks every box. The image quality is crisp, the autofocus is smooth and fast (perfect for vlogging on the go), and the flip screen makes it super easy to record myself without needing extra help. Battery life has been solid so far, and I love how easy it is to transfer content to my phone. Whether I’m filming tutorials, product reviews, or just snapping aesthetic photos, this camera keeps up with me. Shout out to the Best Buy team for their help during the purchase process — they answered all my questions and made sure I walked out confident in my choice. Highly recommend this for any content creator, new or experienced! And hey, winning that $400 gift card wouldn’t hurt either

I previously had the Sony ZV1 and have to say that this vlogging camera BLOWS it out of the water. From its ability to shoot in 4k, interchangeable lenses, the longer battery life and reduction in overheating... it can genuinely do all you need it to do for a lower budget camera as long as you invest in a good lens.

Definitely recommend I’ve had it for a couple months now and it shoots amazing. Really good starter camera

For the price, the Sony ZV-E10 II is definitely a solid starter camera. It delivers excellent image quality, reliable autofocus, and strong video performance, making it appealing for beginners. However, beyond vlogging and controlled shooting scenarios, the lack of IBIS is a major drawback for handheld use. For a few hundred dollars more, the a6700 is a better choice—it’s a true hybrid, far more versatile, and ultimately more beginner-friendly for long-term growth.

Excellent camera. Perfect for beginners. Very Inuitive set up.

I picked up the Sony Alpha ZV-E10 II kit with the 16-50mm lens as a dedicated content camera, and it has been a total game changer. The video quality is crisp and detailed, the colors look great straight out of the camera, and Sony’s autofocus is seriously impressive. It locks onto faces and eyes fast and stays there even when you’re moving around. The 16-50mm kit lens is perfect for everyday shooting. It is compact, versatile, and makes it easy to go from a wider shot for vlog-style content to tighter framing without swapping lenses. The camera itself is lightweight and travel-friendly, but still feels solid. The menu and controls are straightforward once you set it up, and it is easy to dial in settings for different lighting. If you are upgrading from a phone or an older entry camera and want a noticeable jump in quality, especially for video, this kit delivers. Highly recommend for YouTube, TikTok, IG Reels, product shots, and general content creation.

Love this camera! It’s 110% worth it and it’s gives you the best value for quality, frame rate, and overall consistency.

This is an excellent, highly portable travel and vlogging camera. It takes very good to excellent photos. Takes very good videos. Has excellent auto focus both with still photography and videos - it is very good at knowing what to focus on, and out-of-focus shots or video are very rare and quickly corrected in video. It is not as good as a high-end full-frame camera at photos or video. But I expected this. Its low light performance is good, but I would not rate it as great. But I'm used to a high-end full frame camera. In good lighting it exceeded my expectations. What I really like about it: 1) the size - just love how packable it is. You can put it in a pocket with the smaller lenses. 2) it is interchangeable lense. Small as a point and shoot, but you can swap lenses, and there are a lot of high quality lense options out there. 3) I think the menu system is pretty good 4) love the integration with sony's little grip/tripod 5) excellent auto focus I really wish it had: 1) in body image stablization. But the camera is so small there is not way I think they could do this. But this is very missed. 2) no crop when taking 4k video. Yuck. I have to ask why we still have to deal with crop with a modern camera. Just annoying.

I have a Sony A6000 and A6400 and even when the 6400 records in 4K/30FPS compared to the 4K/60FPS from the ZV-E10 II, the ZV has mind blowing image quality, it is absurd the jump in quality from the 6400, on paper they may not look very different in video quality but believe me, the jump is huge!

Surprisingly more impressed than expected. Video n auto focus awesome, good battery life. Touch screen n menus very too, worth the 1k.

I've owned the Sony A6400, Sony ZV-E10 and I currently own the Lumix S5ii, Sony FX30 and the Sony ZV-E10II. I'm going to sell the FX30 because with the new update for the Sony ZV-E10II it can record 10bit 4:2:2 120fps like the FX30 now. When recording with the ZV-E10II vertically, all the display icons rotate vertically as well. I also love the cinematic mode that adds the top and bottom black bars to the video. The FX30 doesn't have those features. The ZV-E10II is well worth the price.
