Customer Ratings & Reviews

Usability and quality is low. Extremely dissatisfied and disappointed with way too many features to even count

This is good in the way that all digital cameras today are pretty good, but in comparison with others, there are some drawbacks. The first, and most noticeable to me, is the lack of ability to transfer images via bluetooth. With my previous setup, I would transfer images via bluetooth to my phone while shooting, and those would get synchronized via the cloud to my laptop, where I could see them in detail. Having a good view of the images in near real-time as I was taking them helped me decide whether I needed to reshoot them immediately. With the Sony, you can only transfer images to your phone via WiFi, and you can't shoot while doing that, so the only real option is batch transfer. You can only see the previews on the phone screen while shooting, so you don't have a great idea of whether you need more takes or not until after the batch transfer. Rather than going through your phone, you could choose to upload to Sony's Creator Cloud service, but again, that can really only be done in a batch-type transfer, and it takes even longer. Plus, the Creator Cloud is not really useful for editing, there is no computer app (at least for Macs, anyway) so any manipulation has to be done through a browser. I adapted my workflow for batch transfers, but it's not optimal. Second, I do most of my shooting with a macro lens, and the autofocus leaves a lot to be desired compared to my other camera. There is a cool feature with the manual focus with the macro lens, where it zooms in on a smaller section of the image field (which you can select) when you start to adjust the focus, which makes up for the lower resolution of the camera screen and the necessity of batch transfers. The other thing that is troublesome is that there are light and dark bands across the image. The good thing is that these aren't noticeable when looking at a single still image, but when flipping through successive images, you can see them move across the picture. They could be an artifact of the lighting, but I don't see that issue with my other camera. Finally, this is more nit-picking, but logging into the Sony website to register the camera and set up the app has the same authentication issues that have plagued me with any new Sony purchase I try to register. It always takes multiple login attempts before it will finally work. Again, it's a good camera, like just about any digital camera at this price point, but software and features really can make a difference, and I experienced enough annoyances here that I probably wouldn't recommend it unless you have already invested in compatible Sony lenses that lock you into their ecosystem.

Video is Jittering in every step. I think mobile is more better

This camera is great for beginners, vloggers or just anyone who wants an easy to use camera with a robust lens system. This is a mirrorless camera from Sony which uses the E mount and there is plenty of first party lens you can use as well as a robust third party lens makers making compatible lens for the E mount you can use with this camera. As far as using the camera it has plenty of features that make it great for vlogging like a button that makes it easy to focus on an item that you’re holding for example or something you want to showcase. A button to record video and since it’s a mirrorless camera to take photos as well. Also an easy slide to zoom in or out as well. This also improves on the menu system of the first ZVE 10 camera which is great. It also comes with a bigger battery than the previous camera as well which is great. It also has a Mini HDMi port to output and a USB type C port to charge the battery as well. The only small gripe is I would of liked a digital viewfinder but the screen will do just as good.

I brought this camera to use when I make gym content. I have no regrets so far and it’s perfect for beginners who want to get into cameras but don’t want to overspend.

It was an excellent purchase, I am surprised by its quality
